#4 Updated by Etienne Tourigny about 12 years ago

This patch doesn't work, because new symbols are not saved.

Here is what happens:

- addSymbol() adds the symbol name to the style symbol list
- saveSymbol() detects the name already present, so it creates the sql query with UPDATE - this does nothing because symbol is not yet in the DB.

Some reworking has to be done in the db handling, with one solution of the following:

1) any add/modify/delete operations should sync with DB immediately (e.g. addSymbol() also adds to the DB)
2) any DB operations are done when dialog closes with a new function syncDB() - this loops through all symbols

1) former is easier, 2) is on par with previous behaviour

cheers
Etienne

Hi,

Sorry for that buggy patch. I am attaching a new one. This contains two commits of data, one commit has a lot of doc about the functions in QgsStyleV2 (sorry for issue-jacking here). The second one has the extra function updateSymbol and necessary flag params in the addSymbol and addColorRamp.

I thought of issuing a github pull request when I wrote the docs, since the issue added up I am putting it up as patch.

I tested, it safely adds as well as updates. Kindly test and add it to master if found OK.

Fixed in trunk, b145998078 (by me) and 447c0d1 (by Arun). Creating new ramps did not work, so I updated addSymbol() and addColorRamp().
