In my view, the special attraction of QGIS is it's relatively simple, easy to understand interface. The plugin infrastructure, of course, lets the use get as deep as he wants into all the sophisticated GIS analyses, but the beginning user can easily dip his big toe and start making some maps, without getting frustrated, or overwhelmed right at the outset. So I tend to agree with Mike that plugins should be disabled by default. -- Micha ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] No mapserver plugin Ubuntu QGIS Kore 1.0.1
Hi all, when I try to install python-qgis-common, it says that it can't find the package, and that my installation of python-qgis is already the newest. Still no option for the mapserver export.

Hi Tim, > As far as I know it needs to be run separately...I'll try to figure out > how to automate this, but for now its not possible. I don't directly know any solutions, but I looked around and it appears there are several solutions where the redistributable file is run as a prerequisite during installation. All three files (VCRedist_x86.exe, VCRedist_x64.exe, VCRedist_ia64.exe) might need to be bundled for the other MS platforms. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235299.aspx for a pretty good description of the issue (including the same error message). > Many users simply dont realise the plugins exist if they are not turned > on by default.

[Qgis-user] Enabled plugins for Windows stand-alone installer, version 1.0.2
Hi, I've tested replacing qgis 0.11 with 1.0.2 at my office, and I've come across a few issues with the stand-alone Windows installer. (The OSGeo4W installer does not have any of these issues.) As recently discovered, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package needs to be installed on some systems. Can this be included with the installation? On starting QGIS on a clean system for the first time, a message box shows "QGIS couldn't find your GRASS installation. Would you like to specify path (GISBASE) to your GRASS installation." After clicking "Cancel", another message: "GRASS data won't be available if GISBASE is not specified". There never was a GRASS installation on the system, so these dialogs come out of left-field for a basic user that does not know what GRASS is. It is also not obvious to a new user to suppress this message by turning off GRASS in the plugin manager. After QGIS has started, the toolbar is FULL of icons. Inspecting QGIS Plugin Manager, I see that ALL installed plugins are enabled by default. This is excessive, and is/was not the case on 0.11 stand-alone or the current OSGeo4W versions. Is it possible to revert to previous behaviour (or same as OSGeo4W behaviour), where none of the plugins are enabled by default? This will streamline the initial startup for a new user since it won't show the GISBASE messages, it will startup faster, and the interface will not be clustered with icons from all available plugins. -Mike ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
