DXF Export

• Priority 1: Save/Load Settings

  • Preserve the latest DXF export settings within a project: at the moment, for example, the attributes with the dxf layer names have to be selected again for each layer each export
    • PRs #56121 (layer attribute selection) and #56017 (force 2D setting).
  • Ability to save and re-import from DXF export settings: → New PR #56982 🆕️
    • Transfer of settings in another project
      • Saving of different export settings per project
  • Better design of the export dialog box:
    • The column «Output layer attribute» is currently hidden and cannot be displayed at the same time as the whole column «Layer» → PR #56082

• Priority 3: Advanced Export Options

  • Possibility to export only the selected elements (current map selection or "all") → New PR #56775 🆕️
  • Possibility to override the export name of individual layers in the export mask → New PR #57016 🆕️
  • Create layers only if there is at least one element in this layer when exporting from a map section, all layers that exist in the entire data set are currently created, even when they're empty. → PR #56126

• Priority 4: DXF Export as a Processing Tool

  • Deploy the DXF export function as a processing tool
  • Include the export in a model
  • Reuse in batch applications and automations.
  • Harmonize app dialog and processing alg: PRs #56147 and PR #57200 🆕️

• Fixes:

  • Fix bug on fieldsComboBox, DXF Export algorithm → PR #56971 🆕️
  • Remove layers with no valid datasource from dialog's layer tree, just as the corresponding processing alg does. Commit a0d9c7 (PR #57016)
  • Avoid non-spatial vector layers in DXF Export alg → PR #56851 🆕️

• Others:

  • New issue: App dialog and processing alg harmonization #56853 🆕️
