Feature: Layer metadata data provider search and storage

Implementation of elements from the QEP #250 "Database metadata storage" initiative have been completed and this functionality includes the creation of a new layer metadata API and GUI components.

The following data providers/formats are supported for storing and managing layer metadata in QGIS:

  • GPKG (it was implemented already, I just wrapped it into the new API)
  • Postgres
  • Postgres Raster

In addition, a new layer metadata search tab is available from the data source manager, and an interactive layer metadata search is available using the QGIS locator.

This feature was funded by ARPA Piemonte
