Hi all,
The email chain below is just one example of a user who has issues
with QGIS after installing the OpenLayers plugin. Stackexchange is
filled with similar examples (See
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/qgis-openlayers-plugin).
I'm wondering if it's time we discussed the future of this plugin. Now
that we have a viable replacement (Quick Map Services) which doesn't
demonstrate these issues, should we deprecate the OpenLayers plugin
and remove it from the plugin repo?
Can we revisit this discussion again?
I'm very much in favour of:
1. Removing openlayers plugin from the repo asap. This plugin is broken
and unfortunately is harming the reputation of the >>project, as many
users cannot distinguish the difference between the plugin's issues and
problems with QGIS itself (eg see
>>https://twitter.com/thatkindofplace/status/742543174573260800?s=03 )
2. Rename QuickMapServices as "QuickMapServices (OpenLayers
replacement)" on the plugin repo, so users looking for openlayers >>are
nicely directed to the new plugin
I would propose to rename it to "Basemaps (OpenLayers replacement)".
QuickMapServices is one of the most unintuitive names for such a basic
need ... a basemap ;)
My 2 cents
Bernd
+1 for all the reasons above.
Thanks for reviving this Nyall!
Best wishes,
Anita
