I sort of understood what you wrote, but I guess not quite. Well, there are many plugins, and they might depend on many libs, perhaps only a special version. As long as you don't install the plugins, you would not miss them. Installing *all* from OSGeo4W ended for me in a non-working version, because stable and dev versions got mixed up. It would be better if the plugin installer would advise you to rerun the OSGeo installer. But if the user has used the standalone installer, he would not know what do ... Not that easy ;-) Other way would be that the plugin installer comes with the libs by itself, and puts them in the site-packages folder if not already there.

[Qgis-user] [1.8.0] Broken UTF-8 support in shapefiles - and workaround
Hi all, since 1.8.0 is now the offical stable version, I installed it on Windows 7, besides the old 1.7.4. The only thing that does not work as expected: All text with non-ASCII-characters (e.g. ä ö ü) is broken. The shapefiles are encoded utf-8, and read fine in OpenOffice and qgis 1.7.4. It seems that they are interpreted as codepage System, that is 1252 for Windows. If I create a new shapefile, given encoding=utf-8, this will be broken in OpenOffice and Qgis 1.7.4. Layers from spatialite and postgis databases are not broken. I found this workaround: Look for the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Quantum GIS Lisboa\bin\ (or where the Program has been installed to) open qgis.bat with a suitable text editor Insert the line SET SHAPE_ENCODING=UTF-8 in line 4 save it, and shapefiles in utf-8 will open correctly. Hoping this might be useful to others... And perhaps someone can put this into the windows installer.

Re: [Qgis-user] OpenLayers plugin crashes QGIS
Am 23.06.2012 16:45, schrieb Kurt Menke: Hello, I have experienced consistent issues with the latest OpenLayers plugin with QGIS 1.7.4. The only way I can get the plugin to work is if I open a new QGIS project, set my project CRS to Google Mercator (EPSG: 900913) and then add an OpenLayers layer such as OpenStreetMap or Google. However, if I then add another layer, for example a shapefile in EPSG: 4326, QGIS crashes. If I set my project to anything other than Google Mercator, QGIS crashes as soon as I try to add an OpenLayers plugin layer to the map canvas. The project *must* *have* the CRS of the Google/OSM Tiles (reprojected tiles would look ugly). In the latest version, this is EPSG:3857. 900913 will be depricated in future Versions of Qgis.

I have a google satellite map, and several point vector files all in google mercator transformation, but the relationship between the locations on the map and the locations of the points of the vector files are not stable. If I open print composer or change the zoom I find the points have moved relative to the map, so that my points are not longer in the correct places, although I don't know whether the points or the map have moved (or both?). The same thing happens with vector line files. This happens whether or not I have 'on the fly transformation' checked and if I check 'on the fly transformation' and then use vector files in another transformation (e.g. EPSG4326) the same problem occurs. I wonder if there is an issue with the stability of the transformation and if this is affecting both my point locations and the polygon areas referred to by Nick. You could try using EPSG:3857 instead of EPSG:900913. For some strange reasons raster data transformed to EPSG:900913 is located on the map different from EPSG:3857 projected rasters.

I made sure properties was set to IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator and checked Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation. Then I right clicked the vector layer and selected Set Layer CRS and set it, again, for IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator. If I accept what is there already as right, all the lakes wound up in South America. It looks like the lat/long numbers didn't convert over. Is there a way to manually move them into position and make it away that this is it's right and proper position under IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator?

If you install the standalone version form http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ make sure it has no red warning in the line where you download If you execute the SDKshell.bat inside the directory, gdal points to that standalone version.

If that works, you can use the other gdal tools in the same way.
