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: QgsDialog

New dialog constructor.

Parameters

source (str = '') – original data source name, e.g. original layer name of the layer to be copied
initial (str = '') – initial name
extensions (Iterable[str] = []) – base name extensions, e.g. raster base name band extensions or vector layer type extensions
existing (Iterable[str] = []) – existing names
regexp (QRegExp = QRegExp()) – regular expression to be used as validator, for example db tables should have “[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]+”
cs (Qt.CaseSensitivity = Qt.CaseSensitive) – case sensitivity for new name to existing names comparison
parent (QWidget = None) –
flags (Union[Qt.WindowFlags) –

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