QGIS Style Manager: Export Items as PNG/SVG not working #47627

Closed Sidapo closed 2 years ago

Sidapo commented 2 years ago

What is the bug or the crash?

When trying to export items as PNG or SVG from the style manager a pop up File manager window opens, but it only lets me select existing files/folders & I can't create a new file (see screenshot). It appears to be the wrong File manager pop up window, when exporting an item as xml the correct File pop up window opens & I can create a new file. File pop-up when exporting as PNG or SVG: image File pop-up when exporting as XML: image

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Got to Style Manager
  2. Select item for export
  3. right click & select export as svg of export as png
  4. the wrong file pop up window appears.

@Sidapo on Windows you choose the folder, an files (png or svg) are created in there with the same name of the selected symbols. Does not work like that on Ubuntu?

Sidapo commented 2 years ago

Ah okay, so the pop up window is actually not wrong. Then the issue actually is that no files get created after selecting a folder

gioman commented 2 years ago

Then the issue actually is that no files get created after selecting a folder

that is the question. Works on Windows. And works fine on Linux Mint 20.2 too.

It seems to depend on what kind of item you want to export. Testing with exporting many items, there are some items that are not exported.

Sidapo commented 2 years ago

okay, thank you all for your quick feedback & clarification. The issue is now much clearer to me: I've tested with a bunch of items, and yes, I can confirm that for me as well some items get exported and some don't. I initially tried with two color ramps & an svg icon, all of which didn't get exported. Should I resubmit a new bug report and clarify that the actual issue is that some items don't get exported? Also, it was very confusing for me that for one export type (xml) the user is expected to specify a file name (to me the expected behavior) while for the other export types the user is expected to only select a folder & the files will be automatically created & named. Should I submit a separate feature request issue for this as well? (sorry for all my questions, this is my first bug report)

@Sidapo not necessary, you can edit title and description of this ticket.

We cannot assume this is a bug, maybe it is by design. You should ask in the developers mailing list first.
