In the newer versions of QGIS it's possible to export a layer as a Mapinfo Tab file and include the Feature Symbology. Does anyone know if you can access this as part of the 'Save Vector Features To File' algorithm or PyQGIS?

Apply the symbologyExport=QgsVectorFileWriter.FeatureSymbology parameter when writing and it will keep its symbology when opened in MapInfo.
from os.path import abspath
from qgis.utils import iface
_vlayer = iface.activeLayer()
_writer = QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat(
layer=_vlayer,
fileName=abspath("D:/test_file.tab"),
fileEncoding="utf-8",
driverName="MapInfo File",
symbologyExport=QgsVectorFileWriter.FeatureSymbology
)

it doesn't seem to work with points but it does work with polygons. Haven't checked lines yet. That's a pain, as it will read MapInfo point symbology into QGIS– ProsperMay 22 at 7:43

I have asked a question about it 2 years ago. It is here: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/388797/…– KVOMay 27 at 12:41

is it possible to export a layer from QGIS to MapInfo .MIF format retaining MapInfo symbology by a PyQGIS script? MIF format is human readable and a .MIF file can be edited by simple text editor such as blocknote or Notepad++– KVOOct 16 at 12:59
