Hmm, looks like it just sent an email that pretty much confirms this. Can I ask, what caused this to pop up in 2.1 but not 2.0?
I'd be a lot less freaked if there was a description rather than a load of numbers. Particularly as the numbers don't immediately related to the proj parameters for the projection I usually use (which because they're pair with a description I've started to become familiar with). It also seems indiscriminate about what layers it's picking on. Mostly my projects are displayed in MGA94 zone 51 with OTF on. If I remotely understand this dialogue it's asking to transform a layer in AMG84 zone 51 into WGS84. Why only this layer? There are other layers in this project that aren't either WGS84 (which I presume is being used as a staging datum before moving to MGA) and they don't get picked up? > On 21 Jan 2014, at 1:35, "Anita Graser" <anitagra...@gmx.at> wrote: > > Hi, > > I suggest to deactivate the Select datum transformations dialog by default. > > Here is why: > - Most users are happy with the default transformations.

I hadn't even noticed that until you mentioned it. I'd be really tempted to swap them around. Most of the hover text in the dialogue.

Not here, just confuse them by having a project they made 2 months ago fail in interesting ways. > Best wishes, > Anita -ramon. _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
