QGIS APP-6(D) 0.1.6 — QGIS Python Plugins Repository

Changelog

## [0.1.6] – 2026-05-14

### Added
- Layer Manager dock: **Import layers** panel with two buttons:
  - *Import layers from APP-6D JSON file…* — browse any path on the
filesystem.
  - *Import from data folder…* — opens directly in the MilSymb data
directory (convenient for bundled or previously saved files).
  - Imported layers are appended to the current project; duplicate
names get an automatic numeric suffix (`Layer (2)`, …).
  - Supports all three JSON formats: multi-layer (`layers`),
single-layer (`layer`), and legacy flat (`symbols`).
- `SymbolLayerManager.import_layer()` — new public method that appends
a pre-populated `SymbolLayer` to the project and registers the backing
`QgsVectorLayer` on the QGIS canvas.

### Changed
- Layer Manager dock: export and import file dialogs now use the
`*.app6d.json` extension (replacing the generic `*.json`) to avoid
confusion with other JSON files; KMZ dialogs unchanged.
- Symbol Editor dock: **Text Modifiers** section is now a stable
collapsible panel (closed by default).
  - Replaced `QGroupBox.setCheckable()` — which disrupted dock
geometry when anchored — with a `QToolButton` header (`▶`/`▼`) + a
hidden `QWidget` body.
  - Removed all `adjustSize()` calls from `edit_symbol`,
`load_from_catalog`, and `_toggle_text_modifiers`; the surrounding
`QScrollArea` handles height changes without disturbing the dock
layout.

---

### Fixed
- `milsymbol_engine.py`: `SyntaxError` in generated JS due to missing
`f` prefix on last two lines of `as_svg` JS template (`}}` was not
being interpreted as escaped braces, producing malformed JS).

### Added
- Layer Manager dock: **Export all layers as KMZ** and **Export
current layer as KMZ** buttons.
  - KMZ = ZIP archive containing `doc.kml` + `icons/<sidc>.png` for
each placed symbol.
  - Icons rendered via `milsymbol_engine` → `QSvgRenderer` → `QImage`
→ PNG.
  - KML built with plain string concatenation + `html.escape()` (no
`xml.etree.ElementTree.register_namespace`).
