3.7 Projects 3.7. Projects The state of your QGIS session is considered a Project. QGIS works on one project at a time. Settings are either considered as being per-project, or as a default for new projects (see Section 3.8). QGIS can save the state of your workspace into a project file using the menu option File->Save Project. Loading saved projects is a similar process. The kinds of information saved in a project file include: • Layers added • Layer properties, including symbolization • Projection for the map view • Last viewed extent The project file is saved in XML format, so it is possible to edit the file outside QGIS if you know what you are doing. The file format is new in version 0.8 compared to earlier QGIS versions. 3.8. GUI Options Some basic options for QGIS can be selected using the Options dialog. Select the Settings entry from the menu and choose Options (Alt-O). Some of the options you can customize are: • Appearance • Rendering • Selection and Measuring • Projection • Help Browser Modify them according to your needs. Some of the changes may require a restart of QGIS before they will be effective. On GNU/Linux everything is saved in: QGIS 0.8 User Guide 15
3.9 Spatial Bookmarks $HOME/.config/QuantumGIS/qgis.conf This is a normal text file consisting of blocks, where QGIS saves its current display options, PostGIS and WMS connections, and other settings. On Windows settings are stored in the registry under: \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS\qgis On OS X you can find your settings in: $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.qgis.qgis.plist 3.9. Spatial Bookmarks Spatial Bookmarks allow you to “bookmark” a geographic location and return to it later. 3.9.1. Creating a Bookmark To create a bookmark: 1. Zoom or pan to the area of interest. 2. Select the menu option View->New Bookmark or type Ctrl-B. 3. Enter a descriptive name for the bookmark (up to 255 characters). 4. Click OK to add the bookmark or Cancel to exit without adding the bookmark. Note that you can have multiple bookmarks with the same name. 3.9.2. Working with Bookmarks To use or manage bookmarks, select the menu option View->Show Bookmarks. The bookmarks dialog allows you to zoom to or delete a bookmark. You can not edit the bookmark name or coordinates. 3.9.3. Zooming to a Bookmark From the Bookmarks dialog, select the desired bookmark by clicking on it, then click the Zoom To button. You can also zoom to a bookmark by double-clicking on it. QGIS 0.8 User Guide 16
