I define an input csv file and an output like so in my processing script:

##Input_CSV_File=file
##Output_Shapefile=output vector

The output shapefile is added to the map automatically when the script is done, but the name of the layer in QGIS is always "Output Shapefile". I want to name the layer based on something in the file. Is there a way to change the name the layer is added with after the script is done?

Processing offers two approaches:

  • using the file name or
  • using the output name specified in the scripts.

You can change the behavior in the Processing options:

  • I was hoping to be able to set the name myself so if I give this script to someone it would work for them without any setup, but taking the name from the filename will work. Thanks.
