Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Tommy, Unfortunately this list is not really the correct place to ask this question. It is possible that there are some people here who have experience with using dot spatial, but I think you are more likely to get a better response on the forums on the dot spatial website. I am certainly not familiar with dot spatial myself. I don't know how dot spatial integrates GDAL into their system, or what version they are using, but OSGeo4W uses GDAL 1.11.0. From what I understand, OSGeo4W tends to set environment variables when it starts programs (with the use of .bat files). So it is unlikely that the GDAL installed with OSGeo4W is interfering with the GDAL that is built into dot spatial. However that is just my understanding of it and one of the more expert people here will maybe want to correct me :) Sorry I can't be of more help, but try the guys over at the dot spatial site. They will be able to provide further guidance I would imagine.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Andre, I have now tested on 3 different machines with 3 different datasets. Machines tested: 1) Work desktop running Windows 7 2) Work laptop running Windows 8 3) Home laptop running Windows 8 Datasets tested: 1) Naturvernområde (NATVERNOMR.SOS) 2) Naturtyper (NATURTYPER.SOS) 3) Felles kystkontur generalisert (Kystkontur_generalisert.SOS) All 3 of these datasets are available here and are as they were when I downloaded them - I have not edited the data at all. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6r5nAOdEBZramdzNi15YzNqZUUusp=sharing ogr2ogr: The following ogr2ogr commands complete fine on all 3 machines and the shapefiles open without any problems. ogr2ogr -f ESRI Shapefile kystkontur Kystkontur_generalisert.SOS ogr2ogr -f ESRI Shapefile naturtyper NATURTYPER.SOS ogr2ogr -f ESRI Shapefile natvernomr NATVERNOMR.SOS It appears that all data is converted when I check the number of records in the SOSI file against the number of converted records in the shapefiles. The only warnings I get are about normalized/laundered field names, but I assume that's due to me converting to a shapefile. QGIS: In QGIS, I can only hear the popping noise on Windows 7. QGIS crashes on Windows 7 as well. The two Windows 8 machines experience no problems with the 3 sosi files that are available from the link above. The data loads and displays correctly, and QGIS never shutdowns unexpectedly. I get fewer problems when I load only one of the geometry types from one SOSI file. So I don't know if this is a specific Windows 7 thing or not. Hope this helps.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Jürgen, So with further testing it appears we have found some problems with other SOSI files. It seems things work quite well with simple files (like the naturvernområde data for Rogaland I and others have tested with), but we get problems when opening bigger files. One thing we have noticed is that a lot of the problems seem to happen when you try and load more than one type of geometry types from a sosi file at once. If I select all 3 geometry types in one go (or load 2 or more individually) QGIS crashes. If we just load one geometry type, and then close it and load another geometry type, it works fine. We are also getting problems with files that contain a lot of data, in this situation QGIS will crash with just one layer loaded. And when QGIS starts to error, I get the noise problem mentioned here too http://hub.qgis.org/issues/10746 . So a few issues, but it's a great start that it works with some data :) If people would like copies of these datasets for testing, I can provide them.

Hi Joost. Thank you for your answer! Do you know the sosi library? I manages to use the shell and I am creating shapfiles from sosi. I have some problems with the placename files though.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Jurgen! Si nice of you to help me. Correct me if I`m wrong, but I got the sosi-shapefile to work through the OsGeo4w shell. And from that I can open the shapefiles in QGIS. I guess I can`t do it in another way in QGIS yet? I have some questions about the creation process. Doing a job on one sosi-file creates both lines, points and polygon shape files. Why? And the placename shapefile opened in QGIS only gives me a set of points in the display. (Both iso and utf8 of the the sosi) I`m going to use the shapefiles in my own application so I just want to look at the files in QGIS first.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi, Just to double check a couple of things, 1) you need to install the gdal-sosi package using the OSGeo4W installer. 2) You will need to update all packages using the OSGeo4W installer as the changes Jürgen has made seem to have been made today. If you go into QGIS and select Add Vector Layer from the Layer menu (these instructions assume an English GUI, obviously if you are using the Norwegian translated GUI it will be in Norwegian). Here you need to make sure Source type is set to File. Click browse. In the bottom right hand corner of the open file dialog, you will see a drop down menu. Here you should find an option for SOSI. Select a SOSI file and select and click open. Click Open A dialog will appear allowing you to select which layers from the SOSI file to open. Choose the ones you want and select OK. QGIS will load the data. Hope this helps.

Typing ogrinfo --formats lists all available vector data formats. You will find SOSI there if it is correctly installed. The list is not sorted alphabetically. If SOSI is listed, you can transform the file into other formats using ogr2ogr.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
OK I have checked this quickly this morning on my machine at home as I am not around for the next week. Only difference at home is Windows 8. Updated both 32 bit (to 39eaff9) and 64 bit (to 2d1e983) OSGeo4W this morning. I still do not get the option for SOSI files in 32 bit QGIS in the files of type drop down menu in the open file dialog window. The SOSI option is avaiable in 64 bit. The 64 bit version still gives the invalid data source error after trying to open the SOSI file. The SOSI file I have tested with is the naturvernområde dataset from Miljødirektoratet (I have downloaded only data for Rogaland fylke - data available from here http://karteksport.miljodirektoratet.no/#page=tab1). ogrinfo reports correctly on both 32 and 64 bit versions and ogr2ogr will convert sosi files to shapefiles in my test.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi, Hmm. I had no issues opening that file up on Mac [0]. The only other thing I can think of is to ensure the GDAL_DRIVER_PATH is set in the environment, so the plugins can be found at run-time by QGIS/GDAL. I don't think that should be an issue for an OSGeo4W install, though. To be sure, you can try setting it in Options - System - Environment and see if that helps. If the plugin wasn't found by GDAL, then the file filter for SOSI would not show up in QGIS's file browse dialog's combobox for opening a vector layer. If you choose *.* (all files) and try to load a .sos file, then it will throw the invalid source error in the message bar, because GDAL never loaded the plugin.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Larry, Thanks for your efforts. I understand that you are especially busy right now… I checked GDAL_DRIVER_PATH and it was - just as you suspected for OSGeo4W – set properly to “C:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins”. Just like in James case, SOSI is listed in the combo-box in QGIS and I get the dialog for selecting among the three layers in the file. When I try to load one of them I get the “Invalid data source” error message. GDAL in the same OSGeo4W installation reads and converts the SOSI file without any issues. However, I noticed that GDAL was also less picky with the versions. While the SOSI plugin compiled against GDAL 1.10 does not show up in QGIS 2.3 (build against GDAL 1.11), GDAL 1.11 itself has no problems with that plugin either. Maybe some subtle differences in compiler settings between Jürgens build of GDAL and my build of the SOSI-plugin may cause the problems here? I assume you use same compiler for GDAL and QGIS on Mac (like I do on Ubuntu)… When I built the SOSI plugin I tried to follow packaging instructions closely. I used MS Visual Studio Express 2010 (compiler toolset v100) for the 32bit build (SDK 7.1 for the 64bit build), set MSVC_VER=1600 in GDALs nmake.opt, added SOSI support and kept default settings in the other cases.

If SOSI is available in the Raster file open dialog, it is because gdal has support for SOSI. If a particular SOSI file cannot be opened, then it is a GDAL bug, not a QGIS one, and should be reported in the GDAL bugtracker.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi Etienne, Thanks for having a look at this issue too. The thing is that GDAL (or more precise OGR) opens SOSI files properly but QGIS from OSGeo4W does not (this issue does not occur on Mac and Linux). In QGIS the contained layers (points, lines, polygons) can be identified (we get the dialog to choose a layer), so also QGIS can access the SOSI file in principle. But these layers themselves are rejected as “Invalid data source” (tested with different SOSI files). OGR converts all layers from the file QGIS rejects e.g. to SQLite correctly.

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi James, and sorry for not having answered your earlier email on that issue. On Windows I can reproduce your issue too. However, given that it worked on Mac, I suspect this is a packaging problem... In other words my fault. I shall try to fix it with an update of the gdal-sosi package asap. Yet, the Norwegian mapping authority mentioned that a 64bit build of the OpenFYBA library would be very much experimental... So no success guaranteed. If we do not get it workin,g we would probably have to remove the gdal-sosi package (until it works properly).

Hi, On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 7:04 AM, Stott, James fmro...@fylkesmannen.no wrote: Hei Stefan, Thanks for looking at this again. Do you know why the SOSI option doesn’t appear in 32 bit version? With the release of 2.4 a day or so away, I wonder if its best to just remove the SOSI option from the file dialog box for the 2.4 release? That way people won’t be under the impression that QGIS can open SOSI when it can’t? Are you sure it is specifically QGIS that can't open the file? Have you tried GDAL directly. If there are problems with GDAL on your platform for SOSI, but it works on others, I don't see how this should limit what is an available feature in QGIS. It would then require fixing GDAL, or its packaging, in this regard. Please verify. Regards, Larry Shaffer Dakota Cartography Black Hills, South Dakota Don’t know if anyone else agrees?

Re: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS
Hi again, Now I rebuilt the 32-bit package based on GDAL 1.11.0 which is the GDAL version QGIS is build against (the old package on OSGeo4W was built against GDAL 1.10) and tested in QGIS 2.3 (QGIS code revision 39eaff9). The problem is now the same, James described for the 64bit version. However, ogrinfo gives no error messages and displays the content of the SOSI file and all layers just fine. So maybe it is not only a packaging issue? James, what does your 64bit ogrinfo say when run with your SOSI file? And does ogr2ogr work for you in 64bit? Cheers Stefan From: qgis-developer-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:qgis-developer-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Stott, James Sent: 26. juni 2014 11:14 To: qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [Qgis-developer] SOSI support in QGIS Hi all, Just wondered if anything more has happened with this? As it stands, I get an option for SOSI files in the file open dialog of 64 bit master, but not 32 bit. (SOSI is the data standard in Norway for those that don't know). In 64 bit, when I select a file for opening, it comes up with another dialog (similar to when you open up a gpx file) where you choose the geometry you want to load from the file. After I have selected what I want and push ok, I just get an error message saying that the data is not a valid data source. This happens on both mine and a colleagues machine. Does this affect others too? I have also installed the gdal-sosi package in osgeo4w. I am using Windows 7 64 Bit, osgeo4w for install. Current QGIS version is d4b07a. If SOSI files do not open in QGIS, we should remove the option from the open file dialog window. Otherwise I think people here in Norway will have a bad experience with QGIS and SOSI.
