Export/import of symbology in QGIS
The so-called “new symbology” in QGIS has an impressive set of features and allows users to create their own symbols from the simplest to the most complex. Unfortunately, it does not provide a mechanism for sharing symbols, and it is not possible to use multiple symbol libraries at the same time.
I decided to fix at least some of the shortcomings and prepared a patch that allows the import/export of symbols. This is the third patch of this kind among my fixes, the previous two were also import/export related (one for import/export of PostGIS and WMS connection settings, and the other for import/export of custom keyboard shortcuts).
