Description

Rule-based labeling information of a layer doesn't get saved when exporting the style.
To reproduce:
- Load a vector layer
- Set a lebel
- Save the style as qml
- Close the layer and re-open it
- Try to apply the saved qml

The label is always set to No labels for me. (2.12 cd9d645)

Seems to be related to the introduction of combo box for the new labeling.
If I do:

iface.activeLayer().loadNamedStyle('/path/to/my_style.qml')

And refresh my canvas the labels will be applied. But if I do it through load style...it doesn't work.

#5 Updated by Steven Bernard over 8 years ago

I have a similar issue where old qml style files, which have rule-based labelling in, no longer work when I try to apply them in 2.12. As mentioned this is likely because of the new dropdown menu. Isn't there a simple way to map the old .qml rule-based label style to the rule-based labelling dropdown menu option in 2.12?

Can this be fixed please as it is causing me problems, and workaround a lot of extra work

See PR 2542 for an early present from Santa Claus ;-)

workaround a lot of extra work

Also note the following easy workaround, in case the PR takes a while to be merged or you are not able/willing to update to the nightly build:
  • Open the layer properties dialog
  • Load the style
  • Cancel the dialog

=> The style is applied to the layer, but is not yet visible.

To actually see it refresh the canvas, e.g. using the Refresh tool or by simply panning/zooming.

Labeling information is still missing when loading a .qml file in QGIS 2.14.

  • Status changed from Reopened to Feedback

I can not reproduce. Are you loading styles saved in an older version of QGIS?
Please attach a QML file that does not load correctly in 2.14.
