Description

New Description: After loading a .qml raster layer style in QGIS 3.0,3.2,3.4 that was created in 2.18, the raster style changes. However, upon clicking "Apply" or "OK", raster style reverts to the default color ramp loaded. See attached gif for this behavior. However if before you press apply you change your min/max value settings to user defined it will work. Also if the .qml's classificationMinMaxOrigin= is edited from "MinMaxFullExtentEstimated" or "CumulativeCutFullExtentEstimated"
to "Unknown" the resulting .qml works.

Old Description:
After loading a premade .qml raster layer style, the raster style changes. However, upon clicking "Apply" or "OK", raster style reverts to the default color ramp loaded. See attached gif for this behavior.

History

#1 Updated by Bas wein over 5 years ago

Same issue here. Seems to only apply to QML's that I made in 2.18. QML's that I make in 3.2 load fine.

if this is the case than I think is expected, raster symology has been overhauled in QGIS 3 and I would not expect 2.18 QML files to work.

I just checked and this is still an issue in 3.4.
I think this is a very important issue for the long term release. If users are transitioning from 2.x to 3.x and their styles are not respected then that is a serious concern for people that have set up raster styles that they depend on.
As a potential work around I tried to save a 2.18 file with a stylized raster then open it up in 3.4 so I could then save the style. At first it looked fine but as soon as I open up the properties it changes. Looking in the layer styling panel it appears that the color ramp is wrong.

Update-I recreated the same style in QGIS 3.4, saved it as a .qml, applied it to a raster in 2.18 (it worked), saved it as a .qml from 2.18, applied it as a style in 3.4 and it worked.

I then opened up both of the .qml's in notepad ++. There where a few small differences but the one that seemed to be effecting it was in the broken .qml classificationMinMaxOrigin="MinMaxFullExtentEstimated"
In the working .qml
classificationMinMaxOrigin="Unknown"

Changing this setting made the broken one work. If I had to guess- It seems to me there is an issue with the raster min/max conversion from 2.x to 3.x. I hope this can be fixed. Thanks

Also if before you press apply you change your min/max value settings to user defined it will work.

you should use this finding to give this ticket a new/better subject and description.

Either I don't have permission to change the subject/description or I can't find the button. Should I open a new ticket?
