QGIS TUFLOW Increment Layer: Difference between revisions

====Increment Layer and Preserve Database====

This options gives the user the ability to copy or increment multiple layers from the same GPKG. All layers in the GPKG will be listed for the user to decide what to do with: the options are to copy, increment, or discard. A given layer will be copied if it is checked on, it will be incremented if is checked on and new name is provided in the right column, and a given layer will discarded (i.e. not copied) if the layer is checked off. The tool will automatically give an incremented name of the layer selected in the dropdown box and will automatically update the datasource of any open layers in QGIS if required. It also possible to manually edit filename of any copied layer to increment the filename within the 'Incremented Layer' option.

===Save Layer Out Into Superseded Folder===

The option saves the layer selected in the dropdown box into a new location (called a superseded folder by the tool) and keeps the current layer open in QGIS. This option allows users to use a centralised database without having to increment the entire database each time. The user saves the superseded layer in a new location for posterity and continues to work the layer in the centralised database. The user is given the option to let the tool automatically supersede the layer or customise the supersede location. The automatic option will save the layer into a folder called 'ss' in the same location as the GPKG (each layer will be given a new GPKG with the same name as the layer).<br>
