+1 for removal. 2017-09-12 2:59 GMT+03:00 Nyall Dawson <nyall.daw...@gmail.com>: > Hi all, > > I've just opened https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5170, which drops > the old core "Spatial Query" plugin. > > Because the functionality of this plugin is now better handled by the > Processing c++ "Extract by Location" and "Select by Location" > algorithms, in my opinion this plugin can be safely dropped now. > > The processing algorithms have the benefits of: > > - a familiar, more modern interface > - ability to be included in multi-step models > - ability to be used in batch modes > - always available in all QGIS installs (as opposed to the always > installed, but disabled-by-default spatial query plugin) > - unit tests > - non-blocking execution > - more optimised code > - features can be extracted to a new layer regardless of input layer > type (spatial query only allows this for spatialite, postgres and some > other formats) > > There's one feature which is available in the spatial query plugin > which isn't present in the processing algs - the interactive list of > affected feature ids (clicking features in the list will zoom to > them). However - I don't consider this list alone to be worth keeping > the plugin alive for, since most users won't find a list of raw > feature IDs particularly helpful. > > Please speak up if you think there's still a requirement to keep this > plugin around, otherwise it will be dropped for 3.0! > > Nyall > _______________________________________________ > QGIS-Developer mailing list > QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org > List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
