 When I run QGIS 1.7.4 on my laptop I receive the following splash screen:

 QGIS couldn't find your Grass installation. Would you like to specify path

GISBASE is path to a directory where GRASS is installed. Where is your
GRASS installed?

 I have tried various solutions, however no joy as yet.

If you get the message above, you are then asked to select the path to
GRASS in dialog, right? You select the path to dir where GRASS is
installed and it does not work?

 QGIS runs fine on my desktop also running Win7-64 bit

Re: [Qgis-user] Using QGIS with ArcGIS

2012-07-03 Thread Viktor Kalén
Hello Vincent,

We have a well established ESRI environment for our desktop tasks, and
a farily new Open Source environment for WebGIS. This means that we
have the same data stored twice, both as ESRI FileGeodatabases and in
PostGIS.

We use FME to push data from ESRI -- PostGIS. Then we use QGIS for
direct editing and QC of the data in PostGIS. We have some data
collection over the web, storing data in PostGIS. Editing and QC this
data is the main task where we use QGIS.

Of course the best way would have been to store everything in just
one place (PostGIS), hopefully we will go there in the future when
ESRI handles PostGIS as god as QGIS does today. I have tried some 3:rd
party plugins to read end editing PostGIS data in ArcGIS. But they
where not as stable as QGIS. However, FME offers a stable converter
between the to environments!

We use: QGIS 1.8, ArcGIS 10.1 (just upgraded), FME 2012 and Postgres
8.4 with PostGIS.

Viktor Kalén

 Hello,

 I am looking for some user feedback from people using ArcGIS and QGIS
 together. Particularly if you are using it with a native PostGIS backend.

 Questions I am interested in :
 * What is your actual setup ?
 (QGIS - WFST - ArcGIS, QGIS - ArcSDE, QGIS - PostGIS - ArcGIS, ...)
 * What data size do you handle ?
 * How does it behave performance-wise ?
 * What specific features of QGIS and / or ArcGIS do you use and why ?

 Any pointers to online reports on the matter welcome.
 I'll try to gather and share the answers I get if allowed.

 Thanks,
 Vincent

[Qgis-user] CAD tools

2012-07-03 Thread valeria boi

Buongiorno a tutti!
sono una nuova utilizzatrice di Quantum Gis e sicuramente il mio quesito è 
molto banale; ho scaricato il plugin Cad tools, la mia necessità sarebbe quella 
di disporre di strumenti di vettorializzazione avanzata di polilinee chiuse - 
poligoni, se possibile contenenti archi, e quella di definire la misura dei 
segmenti (ad esempio un quadrato di un m. di lato). ho provato con i comandi 
ortho e lenght della cad console, ma non riesco a gestirli in maniera 
congiunta: potete chairirmi se le operazioni che devo compiere sono possibili 
con gli attuali strumenti di vettorializzazione di qgis e eventaualmente dove 
sbaglio! esiste una guidaspecifica, anche in inglese, che mi possa aiutare? 
quella che ho trovato in rete, al link 
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/boi/Desktop/estate%202012/CadTools.htm è 
stata utile ma non risolutiva!
grazie davvero a chi vorrà darmi una mano!
attendo fiduciosa

Re: [Qgis-user] Using QGIS with ArcGIS

2012-07-03 Thread Bernd Laskowski
We use the postgis connector for arc-gis  'ziggis'. Great software for 
online editing.

We bought the connector years ago with a small budget.

First ziggis was open cource.
Years ago obtusesoft developed and sale the connector for small payment.
Now it will be open cource again.
I don't now the actual status.

The visual Maping functionalitie is better with arc-gis. For example the 
refference scale for symbols or the simple sybol editor.

Qgis is OK for 95 percent of users.

We use Postgis as the database backend.
Qgis and Arc-Gis as Geospatial Frontends.
LibreOffice as text and formular based Frontend.

umn mapserver as map provider wms and wfs
mapbender framework as just viewing too.

Wat data size we handle
some 10 objects

Performance ?
We doesn't habe a benchmark.
Evrything could everytime be faster.;-)
I think the Performance is good.

Regards
Bernd

[Qgis-user] tooltips not showing

2012-07-03 Thread Raymond Nijssen
My QGIS does not display tooltips (any more). The only thing that shows 
up is a white (or light yellow?) bar at the place where the tooltip 
should be. Other QT applications seem to work fine on my system, 
including QGIS Browser.


I'm using the trunk version:

QGIS-versie



1.8.0-Lisboa



QFIS code revisie



exported

Gecompileerd tegen Qt



4.7.2



Gebruikt nu Qt



4.7.2

Gecompileerd tegen GDAL/OGR



1.6.3



Gebruikt nu GDAL/OGR

GEOS-versie



3.2.0



PostgreSQL Client Versie



8.4.11

SpatiaLite-versie



2.4.0



QWT versie



5.2.0


on

Ubuntu 11.04.

This problem has been there for at least several weeks, but since I know 
most buttons/icons it didn't really bother me yet. Hope anyone can help!

Raymond

[Qgis-user] QGis 1.8 crashes with 1.7xx projects

2012-07-03 Thread Gerardo Jimenez

Hi

I have a project that I made in Qgis standalone 1.74. When I try to load it 
in1.8 it just simply crashes. The project has

DEM
Shaded Relief
Contours (Shp)
Points CSV
Layout

The problem happens in Win7 32  and 64bits and Ubuntu 12. I made an experiment 
and save the project in 1.73 without the csv layer and 1.8 has no problem 
opening it. As soon as I have a csv layer in the 1.7x project  1.8 crashes. 
Anyone has the same problem as me? Is this a bug?

Thanks before hand

I successfully tested but not implemented for daily work ArcSDE
databases that store natively as Postgis. Server can be Windows or Linux
but Linux is much easier to setup and maintain the ArcSDE part.

Enjoy,
