Environment: qgis 0.9.1 Ubuntu 7.10

Problem:

Qgis is loading the catalogue of available SVGs for symbology only on startup, so if after starting Qgis a new SVG is created or a SVG is deleted, the catalogue is not updated accordingly and the new SVG is not available in the Symbologydialog. As my plugin is creating new SVGs on runtime, which I want to be available in the Dialog, I tried this:

Suggestion:
I changed qgsmarkercatalogue.cpp like this:

Now every time my plugin is constructing a new SVG, I call the updateMarkerCatalogue() like this

---

    [[QgsMarkerCatalogue]] *markerCatalogue=QgsMarkerCatalogue::instance();
    markerCatalogue->updateMarkerCatalogue();

Tested in above named environment and it worked fine.

If this change is accepted there would probably even be the opportunity to do this [[MarkerCatalogue]] Update every time the Symbology Dialog is opened automatically???

What is your plugin? Is it available somewhere?

b) has this patch already been evaluated/committed by the devs?

0c59c74 (SVN r11153) also covers this
