Yes, the Battle of Hastings ticket :) http://hub.qgis.org/issues/1066 We should probably close my ticket as a duplicate: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/4055 I don't think there is a significant difference between the two... > I think we should: > - divide the symbols into categories > - avoid re-rendering the preview (very slow for hundreds of symbols), > possibly caching it > - add a plugin, similar to the plugin installer, to download (better also > upload) > sets of symbols from a common repo. > It should not be a lot of work, any taker?

I guess there would need to be a default folder to add symbols to in the user's profile*, and the gui would need to merge categories that are duplicated in more than one of the SVG search paths. * Wouldn't it be nice if there could be a standard location to install symbols that was _shared with other software_, rather than each program saving them in its own folders?
