Stefan,      I was looking for the same functionality as Zoran so have also been working with your "Nearest" plugin.  It is exactly what I need and seems to work well.                                                         Thanks!                                                             Jim On 10/20/2010 01:54 PM, Ziegler Stefan wrote: Hi Zoran   I had some time left, took all my code snippets and also the one from Carson.

I came across it while trying to get Quantum Navigator working recently...seemed relative, but I'm no expert! This is similar to the mentioned solution with selecting by radius, or changing the tolerance of ID tool. Close, but no cigar. Since this is not very urgent, I've decided to continue pursuing that outlined solution Carson gave, and write a plugin i Python based on that. Since I actually never used Python before, it may take a while, but hey, I get to learn sth. new :-). I never got the word back from Carson, has he developed anything along these lines, but I have to presume he didn't... Anyone interested in joning me, or even earning some money, is still invited to jump on board. My GIS implementation project is well on the way, and it seems there'll even be some money involved :-).    Zoran ~joe On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 9:55 AM, Andreas Neumann <a.neumann at carto.net>wrote: > Hi Zoran, > > I believe the infrastructure of what you want is already wihtin the > selection and identify tools in QGIS.

Identify will ID all the features within certain radios (percentage of extent), but it will ID _all_ of the features within this radius. I only need the nearest, no matter how far away... Let us say it is, for simplicity, within current extent. > The current identify tool selects "near" or "close by" features within a > certain tolerance.
