Class: QgsNewNameDialog¶

class qgis.gui.QgsNewNameDialog(source: str = '', initial: str = '', extensions: Iterable[str] = [], existing: Iterable[str] = [], regexp: QRegExp = QRegExp(), cs: Qt.CaseSensitivity = Qt.CaseSensitive, parent: QWidget = None, flags: Union[Qt.WindowFlags, Qt.WindowType] = QgsGuiUtils.ModalDialogFlags)¶

Bases: qgis._gui.QgsDialog

Parameters:

source – original data source name, e.g. original layer name of the layer to be copied
initial – initial name
extensions – base name extensions, e.g. raster base name band extensions or vector layer type extensions
existing – existing names
regexp – regular expression to be used as validator, for example db tables should have “[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]+”
cs – case sensitivity for new name to existing names comparison
parent –
flags –

New name, for example new layer name dialog. If existing names are provided, the dialog warns users if an entered name already exists.
