I found a partial solution! The thought occurred to me to open the *.json file in notepad. The information in the file is straightforward:
[{"OUTPUTS":
{
"OUTPUT_FILE": "C:/Users/mthompson/Documents/2018/AT/18398-055 AVC Program/Maps/QGIS/LecoS/Euclidean/Hwy2 SH Water 1km.csv"
},
"PARAMETERS": {
"LMETRIC": "0",
"LAND_GRID": "\"ABMIw2wCV_Hwy2SH\"",
"IS_CLASS": "True",
"ADDTABLE": "False",
"LC_CLASS": "1",
"CMETRIC": "Euclidean Nearest-Neighbor Distance",
"VECTOR_GRID": "\"Hwy 2 Sandy Hills 1km\""
}
},...and so on...
I was able to find and replace "CMETRIC" =, which in the saved version had a # rather than text. I replaced the parameter option with the text of the metric in the dropdown menu (in this example = "Euclidean Nearest-Neighbor Distance", and this worked! It now loads the option that is typed into that parameter option - this saves time! The "IS_CLASS": "True" is also incorrect in the default - I changed "True" to "Yes" and "False" to "No" and now it loads properly.
However, I've tried adding a final parameter option for "Load in QGIS" drop-down option. This does not appear in the saved *.json file that I have. So far I've tried:
"LOAD_GIS": "No" "LOADGIS": "No" "LOAD_GIS": "False" "LOADGIS": "False"
No success.
