Re: [Qgis-user] GDAL utf-8 workaround
Hi Ramon, I agree with you. I fixed the utf-8 issue by inserting SET SHAPE_ENCODING=UTF-8 at the beginning of the qgis.bat. No problems since then.

Re: [Qgis-user] GDAL utf-8 workaround
hmm.. are we talking about the same problem? I use Fedora and gdal version 1.9.1-10 in my PC and windows xp in the lab where I use QGIS 1.8.0 for an introductory course in GIS. the problem is: When I load a shapefile with greek encoding other than utf-8 (e.g. iso8859-7 or wp1253), I can not see the greek characters properly. When I load an iso8859-7 file, in the properties is set as utf-8 by default. When I change this to iso8859-7, it does not accept the change (returns back to utf-8). As a result I have to load the file (or part of the table and use join later) in Libreoffice, and save it as utf-8 in order to see greek in qgis. Also, when I edit a file and write in greek, it does not save it as greek! (no workaround for this so far!) So I was referring to this problem, is there any solution? Is this solved in a newer version of gdal? Would QGIS 1.8.0 work with a newer version? As an example try dowloading the SHP file from http://geodata.gov.gr/geodata/index.php?option=com_sobi2sobi2Task=sobi2Detailscatid=16sobi2Id=21Itemid= and see whether you can read the greek names (nomoi_okhe.shp) best sotiris In my PC, I use : Linux 3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64 x86_64 System: Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) KDE: 4.9.2 On 11/02/2012 09:03 AM, Andre Joost wrote: Hi Ramon, I agree with you.

Re: [Qgis-user] GDAL utf-8 workaround
many thanks for trying André, I remember that in the past this wasn't an issue. Anyway, changing version in the lab in the middle of a semester is not an option for me. It is good to know where the problem lies and I guess we can work with the workarounds for the time being. best wishes, sotiris On 11/02/2012 02:14 PM, Andre Joost wrote: Am 02.11.12 12:37, schrieb S.

[Qgis-user] Install multiple versions on Ubuntu
Hello. I have QGIS Lisboa running on Ubuntu 12.04, and would like to also install the 1.9 version. If I do it through the repositories it will upgrade my version. Is there a way to have different versions installed ? ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Install multiple versions on Ubuntu
you'll have to build and install one of the versions yourself (preferably 1.9), and update various environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to run the custom version. If you need any hints on setting up the parallel environments, let me know. Etienne On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 12:52 PM, Stephane Goldstein s@gmx.com wrote: Hello.

Re: [Qgis-user] Copy and paste styles between layers - minor issue
Yes, happens every time I paste styles. The issue is that the rendering of the layer doesn't update right away; you can quickly refresh by turning rendering off and then on again with the checkbox in the lower right of the screen (at least that's how it works for me when this happens; OSX 10.7 / QGIS 1.8 and 2.0). -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Copy-and-paste-styles-between-layers-minor-issue-tp5013419p5013629.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] Marker line not shown using New Symbology
2012/11/1 magerlin m...@ramboll.dk: I am trying to use a line symbology with arrow heads in both ends: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/file/n5013418/Marker_line_not_shown.png But the arrow head which should be shown on last vertex point is not shown on the map canvas! I can replicate this in master but I think it's due to duplication of the last vertex. Newly digitized lines look right. Goyo The problem occurs both in windows and in Linux. One peculiar thing is that the dimension plugin uses a symbology with two arrowheads like I wish to use and it works perfect. But using the same symbology (*.qml file) on my own shape file gives the same errors as above. And if I manually ad lines to the dimension plugin layer some of my added lines (without numbers) are with errors while the others are ok: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/file/n5013418/Dimension_Plugin_Symbology.png You can test my shape file (including qml) file here: double_arrows.zip https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8189384/double_arrows.zip - Regards Morten Qgis 1.8.0 Stand alone installer in Win7 64 bit -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Marker-line-not-shown-using-New-Symbology-tp5013418.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
