It could have been moved to a convertion tool. Yes I know time is a finite resource, just think about all the time that has to be spent to convert project/style files ! As I'm writing this I'm converting the 11 (11!) style files that are shipped with QGIS itself and are incompatible (since 3.0, is my take?). Are style files versioned ? It could help to do that, moving forward. At least QGIS could warn user/error out when trying to open a file older than 3.0, and give the hint about using 2.18 to convert them. --strk; _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
