Hi all,
Thanks for your replies/opinions.
@Richard: this message also comes up for intermediate memory layers, not
only for Geopackage layers.
@Luigi: if I manually add "create spatial index" often, this very much
"pollutes" the model.
I agree with Ujaval, that it would be a better user experience if QGIS
would do the indexing automatically (on intermediate layers) for
operations where the input doesn't have an index and the algorithm would
potentially benefit from an index.
Next to automatic indexing I would think that "auto-repairs" for errors
that processing algorithms introduce would be good to have, e.g. remove
double vertices, remove empty geometries, empty holes/rings,
self-intersections. etc.. If this is potentially dangerous, we can do
opt-in with central threshold values, and only if the analysis is 2d
only. I understand that for 3D analysis automatic cleaning is not always
possible.
Or maybe a switch to GEOS 3.9 with the "fixed precision model" enabled
would remove all these errors previously introduced by processing?
Greetings,
Andreas

+1 to have an option to generate spatial index automatically for intermediate
layers. As I understand, creating index for database layers automatically may
not be preferable, but it's reasonable to want this for intermediate memory
layers. Since processing can already identify which operations might benefit
from the index, it would be much better user experience to take care of it
internally.

I've this message constantly... but usually when an intermediate layer is used in some geoprocess. So, you can just add a "create spatial index" step before the next geoprocess. Doing it automatically can be time spending. Do you really need it everytime?

Hi,
When running QGIS processing models, I frequently get the red warning messages:
No spatial index exists for input layer, performance will be severely degraded
These are temporary (intermediate) geopackage files that QGIS generates during the running of the model. Is there an option that QGIS could automatically generate these spatial indexes for intermediate files?
Thanks,
Andreas
