2021-02-26 Thread Marco Bernasocchi
hi Nyall thanks for rising this. indeed they are pretty serious issues.
I'd be +1 for releasing sooner than planned but I d like to have Jürgen
answer this definitively.

I also agree about warning for LAS Files.

Cheers Marco

Add the following to the list of serious issue:
- raster URIs using /vsi{zip,curl,etc.}/ won't load anymore:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/41888 (fix PR open)

+1 to have an early .1 release.

[QGIS-Developer] Unscheduled 3.18.1 release?

2021-02-26 Thread Nyall Dawson
So. 3.18.0 is unfortunately proving to be a bit of a dud, with numerous
critical issues including:

- georeferencer is broken: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/41770 (fixed
now)
- a crash in the layer properties for point cloud layers:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/41722 (fixed now)
- Can't access rasters in geopackage through browser:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/41860 (fixed now)
- Crash when exporting DXF files: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/41858
-- unfixed
- A crash when opening the properties of a raster layer:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/41834 (possibly a plugin issue, but
more feedback is needed as it may be a widespread non-plugin issue (this
code was changed just prior to release))

I think the severity of the georefencer and DXF crashes alone should
warrant a speedy .1 release, given that they completely break some core GIS
functionality.

(I think we should also consider raising a user-friendly warning message
when a user tries to add a las or laz file and they don't have a pdal
enabled build, as we are seeing lots of confusion about this situation too).

What's everyone's thoughts? Should we cut an unscheduled 3.18.1 release
sometime next week after the DXF and raster properties crashes are fixed?

Not sure if you're aware of this, but in 3.18 if you open the network
logger panel via F12 there's a new option "disable cache" which will
cause ALL requests to skip existing cached replies. It's intended to
help with the exact use case you describe!


Thanks Nyall,

indeed I also want to make sure (to Jeff) that the 'caching' and 'prefetching' 
thing is related but different beasts.
If you want to disable cache at all: 'disable cache', the PR is was speaking 
about was about prefetching surrounding mapcanvas images for WMS's.

Richard Duivenvoorde



Hi Richard,

I am aware that caching and prefetching are very different, I was just 
giving an example of accessing the settings.  Sorry to mention that, 
which caused so many responses.  Carry on :)

In the last eight years I programmed machine vision applications for

When not programming I like to go snowboarding on the slopes of my home

[QGIS-Developer] PIP for plugins - Request for comments (QGIS grants)

2021-02-26 Thread Olivier Dalang
Dear List,

I am planning to apply for the QGIS Grants with a proposal to support PIP
dependencies for QGIS plugins.

The goal is to solve the difficulty for a QGIS plugin to depend on an
existing python library. This results in QGIS plugins missing a lot of the
great features offered by the many existing python libraries, or in trouble
for users when using some plugins.

The proposal is described in more details in this QEP :
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/202

In two words :
- pip dependencies could be declared by plugins (to be determined if in
metadata.txt or in requirements.txt, if you have a preference please
comment on the QEP)
- upon installation, user would be asked if he/she wants to install them
- dependencies would be installed in a per-profile virtual environment,
allowing to keep profiles isolated
- a new tab in the plugin manager would show the currently installed
dependencies, and highlight potential conflicts if any.

I'd love to hear your ideas/opinions/comments so I can improve the proposal
before submitting it (ideally on the QEP directly).

Kind regards,

Olivier (@opengis.ch)

Hi Nyall, 

do you mean only WMS or do you mean all (tiled) services available in the 
qgswmsprovider.cpp?

So actually disable Capability::Prefetch for the wmsprovider?
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/providers/wms/qgswmsprovider.cpp#L2018

Or were you only agreeing with WMS?

Because the real world cases are the ones like OpenStreetMap (who is already 
'fixed' by Ale), but also in The Netherland where we have/had 'free' WMST 
services for Aerials and Topo (and several other services), but because of the 
super heavy load of these free services, they start to go away from the 'free' 
and want you to pay for a number of requests.
Besides this: (tile) resources do not come for free, they cost 
bandwidth/energy/computer power etc etc

As said, I haven't checked WMTS precisely (I did for WMS) but try:
https://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/wmts?VERSION=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities
and open the layer 'opentopo'.

For my mapcanvas of 1000x1000 pixels (theoretically 4x4=16 tiles of 
256x256pixels, but say 6x6=36). 
If I zoom in I fire a >176 requests.
I would be Ok to have no prefetching at all for services, just to save the 
earth a little :-)

I agree that 'polluting' the interface with options is a good argument. An 
option then would be to make it a hidden/advanced setting, which I can disable 
(or others have to enable... how user/environmental friendly do we want to be).

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
