[Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.10.1 Pisa - Read CSV file problem

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi,
Using the above version on Win 7 64 bit, I read a CSV file (as 
attributes only) stipulating that "first record has field names"

Record 1 is as follows:
"SALnum","SALnam","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10+"

When I open the attribute table, I see that fields 1 & 2 have names 
SALnum and SALnam, but the rest are called 'Field_3', 'Field_4' and so on.


When I edit record 1 of this CSV file to look like:
"SALnum","SALnam","1p","2p","3p","4p","5p","6p","7p","8p","9p","10+p"

The I get the correct field names (albeit 1p instead of just "1")

Is this an error, or is there some reason further down the line, that 
attribute tables cannot have 'numeric' field names?


Thanks and regards,
Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

I wonder if this is a DBF format restriction. If I remember correctly 
DBF field names have to start with a letter followed by any combination 
of letters and numbers up to the maximum field name length.

Hi Frank,
Reasonable thought, thanks - but I named the 1p (not p1) and that worked.

Would be interesting to see what the author of the CSV import section of 
QGIS has to say.

Regards,
Zoltan

Re: [Qgis-developer] Python 3 migration plan - what we can do to help people.

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Nathan,

If we can add a warning batch that points to possible problems... What
more can we want? Nice idea!

Does it do the checks on plain source code or does it need some runtime
information (so that e.g. only plugins with test suite can be checked
and only the parts covered by tests are checked)?

Cheers,
Matthias

Hey Matthias,

I'm not sure.  I will have to find the tool and do some testing.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS 2.10.1 Pisa - Read CSV file problem

[Chris Crook]

Hi Zoltan

I think this could be classed as an error!  The source code rejects field names 
that look like positive numbers (some digits optionally followed by a period 
and some more digits).

I can't recall a reason why it should do this.  It could be reasonable to 
require field names to be compatible to database attribute names, but I can't 
see any need for that within QGIS itself.  This can go on a 'to-do' list to 
fix...

Cheers
Chris

[Qgis-developer] Installation problems in QGIS 2.8.3 on Windows 7 - 64 bit

[Luca Manganelli]

Hi,

I'm encountering installation problems with the LTR version of QGIS.

While QGIS 2.8.2 installed fine, the QGIS 2.8.3 has these problems:

 - the start menu folder "QGIS Wien" is empty (no icons)

 - the BAT files are not generated after installation: in the
C:\Program Files\qgis\bin there are many templates like:
qgis-ltr.bat.tmpl

Could you check this?
