I guess both layers are temporary but I'll edit the title to reflect that a memory layer was needed =) | |

| Oct 4, 2016 at 12:37 | comment | added | artwork21 | Using None argument for qgis:saveselectedfeatures saves the layer to disk, e.g. C:\\Users\\userName\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\processing68ace1dd77264cf48d1f95eb837b93d1\\86ee4684d3784c7eb27506235b395999\\OUTPUTLAYER.shp, I'm not sure this is a temporary layer. | |
