If you want the layer dependant label visibility to be applied to the entire layer, then indeed using an expression in the "Show label" rendering option should do what you are asking. By the sounds of things though, you should probably just be using a simple expression like: if (is_layer_visible(

Models are typically stored on your file system in your user directory under the active user profile. e.g. In windows you can view your model files from (assuming the "default" profile): %AppData%\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\processing\models On Linux it's usually /home/username/.local/share/QGI

Yes you can use the aggregate processing tool. You can use a variety of aggregation functions to get the required outputs, but the tool configuration may vary on input data. If the tool gives you errors, the usual culprit is data type errors. QGIS is very clever though, and you can use an express

Batch files are simply windows command files (it's a text file with a .bat extension). OSGeo4w includes some of these files which are optimised for launching QGIS.

Any number of things can go wrong with file paths, but QGIS allows you to embed SVG objects in project files to avoid these problems. If you can open the project on your windows environment, where the SVG file path is specified you should be able to use the drop down on the "Browse" menu and select
