On sharing QGIS symbols

The current developer version makes it easier to share symbol libraries online. Here a quick example of how to share using Github.

This is one of the symbol libraries I uploaded:

import3

If you click on “Raw”, you get the url of the raw text file which can be used to import the symbols into Style Manager:

import2

The importer lets you select which symbols to import:

import1

      Great! Thanks Marcin! I’ll add them to the repository if you don’t mind.

    Are the styles copied to the users machine or does it depend on the url to be active? Just curious what happens when someone decides not to host the styles anymore?

      They are downloaded to the local machine.
