Hi Jorge,
this trick is more or less what I usually do in these cases.
It would be very useful, as Simon says, to save/load the whole layer
definition as "layer file" (all written in XML naturally) directly from
the Layer Properties or from Add layer wizard in order to avoid this
dirty trick. ;) This would be great and less time-consuming.

Cheers,
Antonio
