Ok, by accident I have a QGIS with proj6 here :-) That one shows 'just' 2 options (added to the qgis.nl post) IF the green line is just the first one, but we are not sure if it is the right one... should we make it green anyway? Other remark (again, see qgis.nl post): in the new transformation dialog, I do not see the information that I saw in the other (proj5) dialog, information like: EPSG Transformation Code: 1672 Source CRS: Amersfoort Destination CRS: WGS 84 Remarks: Parameter values from Amersfoort to ETRS89(1) (code 1751) assuming that ETRS89 is equivalent to WGS84 within the accuracy of the transformation. Replaces Amersfoort to WGS84 (1) (code 1112). Replaced by Amersfoort to WGS84 (3) (code 15934). Is that info not available (any more?), or did we conclude that it was not valuable? Because I think it gives some context about the validity of the given transformations? I'd be ok to still show this (if available)? Will have to compile proj6 again to make projinfo work to check (proj6 was patched to work with QGIS). Plz do not see this as critiques: I understand that actually QGIS and proj are getting better and better, and we just are getting more precise! Thanks all for this work!
