"The reason we require the offer to be valid for any third party is so
that people who receive the binaries indirectly in that way can order
the source code from you."

This may only apply to GPL 2, though, I am not sure.

Thought so. Thanks for the clarification.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Projection widget improvement

[Hilmy Hashim]

+1 and it would be great if I could limit the list of projections to the
ones relevant to my work - usually less than 10. I don't need to see
projections for the whole world.

thanks

Hello,

We can extract text from rst or latex into po files. There are many tools for 
this and ui web app in Python to manage it. I have no link as I am moving now. 
If you are really interesting about this I can find them (Francophone ML hava a 
thread about this also).

I am not sure this is the best way to process anyway. 

Y.

+1 to not to remove old symbology until we have 'unique value'. I use
this every day.

I completely agree :)

This feature is a most have too. For example when you have to modify the
border width of all the classes. At present, you have to modify them one by
one or delete them all and recreate them (or open the qml style file if you
are a power user and use search&replace tools ;)

Re: [Qgis-developer] Unique value renderer in New Symbology?

[Giovanni Manghi]

Hi Gary




> 2. Will there be a unique value renderer in new symbology?


I agree, using the categorized symbology with a random color ramp
produces not good results (many times with adjacent polygons with the
same color), with ugly colors and is not straightforward to
use/understand as the unique value renderer.


> 1. When will old symbology be removed?
> 
I hope not before all the features that are available in the old one are
ported in the new one. I also give many training courses and what people
is mainly missing are:

*) the overall transparency slider for all the renderers other then the
unique value. Actually in master you can select multiple
classes/categories, right click and choose the transparency (that by the
way is defined with a 0.0-1-0 interval, where the slider is 0-100%) but
again is not very handy (when having many classes) and not very
intuitive

*) in the old selecting multiple symbology classes allowed the user to
change the symbol for all that classes in one go. In the new symbology
you can select multiple classes but, if the button "change" is click
then the symbol options are applied only to one of the classes


cheers
