True, your suggestion to add the possibility to set a default CRS for the map would be useful. There will always be problems at some point if the layers / map CRS are not properly set. I just want to avoid more complications compared to the current situation if this is not the case ( because it happens so frequently in practice ). Regards, Marco Am Dienstag, 11.
