Yep, you can copy paste that url in a browser, or use command line tools
like wget or curl to fire that url to the server and see what comes back.

Maybe easiest is the Firefox extention 'Poster' and use teh 'GET' button [0]

You should at least get valid json back from your url.

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Thomas Colley]

Hi

I did this recently using the GRASS command v.transform.pointsfile from the 
Processing Toolbox in QGIS. No need to actually go into GRASS and create 
mapsets.

This worked really well for me for unreferenced DXFs. If you need any more info 
let me know.

Cheers

Tom

Ok, thanks.  I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve better 
functionality.  That is a challenge in itself, prone to wrong turns.  Hopefully 
the VectorGeoref will then work.

This whole install process is a real piece of work . . . . .

 Thanks again, cheers . . . .   Spring Harrison

Hi Bernd,

I would suggest building and saving a simple model with a Calculator 
included, and then removing it, saving a copy of the file, and looking 
at a diff between the before and after model files, that way you should 
get a better idea of the model file structure and hopefully some 
pointers to repairing your original model!

[Qgis-user] Split shape from categorized field

[massimo.figaroli]

Hello, 
I have a question for You all: is there a plugin that allows to create
several shape files, moving from a single field value, instead of proceeding
by query or selection?
I'm using QGIS Pisa.

Thanks for your help!

Re: [Qgis-user] Modeler-only tools: Calculator

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi Andy,

I already tried that way: Created a small model, made changes, and used  
diff to see the relevant changes.

Manually removed them. That works.
Doing the same in my bigger model: Crash!

No idea, there must some extra voodoo with those files.

Cheers
Bernd

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS & Spatialite: problem with renewed views

[X Of]

Hi Andrea

The problem described is independent of projects or restarting QGIS. The
problem is always present already in the window for adding a new
spatialite-layer (ctrl-shift-L). There you can get a list of available
fields, when pushing the button for filtering a table ("Set Filter"
Button)... And this list of available fields is sort of a preview of what
you're going to get when adding the table as a layer to your qgis-project.

So is it possible that this "add-layer-manager" might be the source of the
problem, maybe?
Do you think it's worth filing a bug?

Thank you for your help

Hi xof,

Maybe this is the same issue like this: https://hub.qgis.org/issues/8923?

Basically, check if this SQL statements helps to "refresh" your view's
fields:

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Good news!  I've struggled with the mapset idea and gave up.   Actually, it
was the Group thing that finished me off.

I'll look again in the processing tool box, I don't remember seeing it.

I just (re)installed 2.10 but options seem  to  come and go at random.  For
me, QGIS is great but all the install failures and missing dependencies
have put me off.   I've tried many plugins that won't run.

Thanks . . .

[Qgis-user] GEarthView

[Lauta Simon]

Hi, I have a problem with the installation of GEarthView. The complement is
broken, and the program said "No module named sope.interface". I manually
download the complement but I don't know how install it?
Can you help me? Thank you!

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Paolo,
Good that
you can report a different experience, hopefully a better one than
mine.  My operating system is W7 and I have many years of experience
in GIS, mostly Manifold.
I have
received several suggestions for georeferencing vector files -

Vector Bender, VectorGeoreference plug-ins.  Both of these
failed due to missing dependencies.  Although the programs are
experimental, should not the underlying essential files be in place?
Grass V.rectify, v.transform.  I believe these operate through
GRASS.  I have gone down so many rabbit holes lately that some of
these details are beginning to blur.  I believe the problem here was
using GRASS itself.  There seems to be a steep learning curve,
particularly with the definition of a mapset.  The whole thing fell
apart when the process for defining a Group (why?) required a raster file
for a purely vector process.  I have stuck in a dummy raster file
and will try again eventually.  This has been hugely time-consuming
with nothing to show for it.
My
main complaints are twofold,

missing dependencies.  From extensive traffic on this list over
the past few weeks, the whole QGIS environment seems to be rife with
missing support files.  I understand that this is open source, etc.
but surely all the essential pieces should be in place.  When I
attempt to install Vector Bender, it reports missing dependencies and
packs up.  Why doesn't it just install the missing dependencies, it
seems to know what and where they are?
Installation confusion.  Again, from the above traffic there is
much discussion about the two different methods of installing QGIS, one
is apparently prone to problems.  So why is it still available, in
fact why are there two different installation processes at all? 
Anyway, I recently installed 2.10 using the non-standalone
installer.  I chose the advanced option, as I do with most programs
I install, believing that I could customize the items being
installed.  This resulted in over 101,000 file being installed,
which I found out later is the wrong approach.  A better option is
to use Express Install which actually does offer some customization
options.  This terminology is out of step with most programs where
express install implies a limited feature set with no options being
offered during the process.

Anyway, having done that I now have 2.10 but GRASS appears to be only
available as a standalone program, whereas before in 2.8 it was available
under the plug-in menu option.  Why is there not a consistent
interface?
To sum up,
no software, even free, should be offered with missing
dependencies.  If it doesn't work, don't offer it.  And the
plethora of installation options is highly confusing and time wasting to
say the least.  I am prepared to spend countless hours learning how
to use the abundant and powerful features of all these programs, but
don't feel I should need an IT degree to merely install them and run the
various tools.
My initial
enthusiasm for QGIS has been dampened considerably due to the huge number
of hours I have wasted trying to use tools that actually do exist to
address my particular needs.

Thank you Cheers

Good news!  I've struggled with the mapset idea and gave up.  
Actually, it was the Group thing that finished me off. 

I'll look again in the processing tool box, I don't remember seeing
it. 

I just (re)installed 2.10 but options seem  to  come and go at
random.  For me, QGIS is great but all the install failures and missing
dependencies have put me off.   I've tried many plugins that won't run.

Hi Tom,

I must be missing something.  Can't see this in the

Hello Thomas,

I have hunted high and low in the Processing Toolbox and 
cannot find any place there to enter command line instructions.  They 
all seem to be pre-coded tools, nothing with a command line.  Should 
I be looking somewhere else?

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Hey Yourself,
Very
interesting, this is what I get, bugger all:


So what
accounts for the difference?  Some installation quirk no
doubt.  I did select GRASS as an installation option.  In 2.8.3
it was listed under plug-ins, but under 2.10.1 is no longer there. 
But it was installed as a standalone.

Consistency does not seem to be a strong point here.

I do appreciate
the help however, I'm sure there is an answer somewhere, Cheers . . . . .

to advanced interface.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS & Spatialite: problem with renewed views

[X Of]

Thank you, Matthias, running the SQL-Code from your references

UPDATE geometry_columns_statistics set last_verified = 0;
SELECT UpdateLayerStatistics('geometry_table_name');

solves my problems and saves me from creating a new name for views, each
time I'd like to update one (which is especially cumbersome if other views
depend on it..). QGIS now properly displays all fields available from the
spatialite view.

Many thanks! xof

Missing dependencies for Plugins are python libraries that do not ship
with QGIS as they are not QGIS specific and are set by plugin authors
outside the main QGIS build system. Sometime down the road we hope to be
able to pull such libraries as needed during plugin install...

On Windows also note that QGIS/OSGeo4w ship with their own Python
separate from the system to avoid conflicts. You have to install extra
python libs into this QGIS specific python.

Nathan has a good blog post about it, maybe someone can recall the link,
I can't seem to find it.

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Hi Nathan,
Now we are
getting somewhere!  I would just suggest that this advanced/simple
option be made more prominent, probably at the top.  I thought it
was just a secondary title and never even saw the drop-down arrow. 
Make it a radio button or something obvious.
And I
think I see what Alex Mandel was referring to about the raster
image.  By pretending to Georeference the raster image, one will
build a GCP file automatically.  At least, I think that was the
intent.
Anyway,
thanks for this, I may actually get somewhere now.  This certainly
beats jumping through all the hoops to set up a GRASS session.


Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

Ok, thanks. I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve

Yeah there is on going talk about what we can do here.  Maybe even killing
the simplified interface, not sure yet.

The progressing toolbox should do what you need and you won't have to worry
about map sets and all that.

Right, a complex
process I suppose.  I don't understand your second paragraph, and
don't really need to.  However, it does indicate to me that one
needs a fair amount of very specific technical knowledge to do a full and
proper install.  To me, this is a major failing, as I am not an IT
professional and only have rudimentary programming skills. 

My
interest is in using the GIS tools that I need to their fullest, not in
unraveling the arcane foibles and quirks of a poorly implemented
installation process.  As an end-user, my imperative is to do the
work, not endlessly fart around trying to get all of it's parts connected
and working.  If I wanted to do that I would get a degree in
computer science and join the development team.  Perhaps the
developers overestimate the technical computer skills of the
end-users.  I suspect that most of us don't really care what goes on
under the hood, we just want to get work done.
Sorry for
the rant, I have wasted many evenings on what should be a very simple
task.  I was contemplating donating to the cause but will give that
thought a rest for now.

Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

Most likely the algorithm is hidden by the simplified interface. Change to
advanced using the drop down in the bottom of the toolbox.

And yes, we are already discussing if this interface option makes sense.

Hey Yourself,

Very interesting, this is what I get, bugger all:

[image: Emacs!]

So what accounts for the difference?  Some installation quirk no
doubt.  I did select GRASS as an installation option.  In 2.8.3 it was
listed under plug-ins, but under 2.10.1 is no longer there.  But it was
installed as a standalone.

 Consistency does not seem to be a strong point here.

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Nathan,
Right, the option may be OK, just make it prominent.
Anything to avoid the mapset nightmare is welcome.  That was another
time waster and I never did figure it out, especially the Group
option.  One of the help screens showed a diagram of the umpteen
levels of folders but it still seems like an arduous process.  I had
hoped that one could define a mapset to include a folder that already had
files in it, but it seemed that one had to create empty folders and then
import all the map files.  Give me strength, there's only so many
hours in the day!

Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

Yeah there is on going talk about what we can do here.  Maybe even
killing the simplified interface, not sure yet. 
The progressing toolbox should do what you need and you won't have to
worry about map sets and all that.

Hi Nathan,

        Now we are getting somewhere!  I would just suggest
that this advanced/simple option be made more prominent, probably at the
top.  I thought it was just a secondary title and never even saw the
drop-down arrow.  Make it a radio button or something obvious.

        And I think I see what Alex Mandel was referring to
about the raster image.  By pretending to Georeference the raster image,
one will build a GCP file automatically.  At least, I think that was the
intent.

        Anyway, thanks for this, I may actually get somewhere
now.  This certainly beats jumping through all the hoops to set up a
GRASS session.

                          Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

At the bottom of that dock there is a interface selection tool.
Change it to advanced interface.



 

Note: There is ongoing discussion on the dev mailing list on how we
can improve this.

I did this recently using the GRASS command v.transform.pointsfile

This worked really well for me for unreferenced DXFs. If you need any

Ok, thanks. I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve
better functionality. That is a challenge in itself, prone to wrong
turns. Hopefully the VectorGeoref will then work.
This whole install process is a real piece of work . . . . .

Thanks Anita, that "hidden feature" was pointed out and it did
the trick.  As I mentioned earlier, the option may not be a bad
idea, it just needs to be put at the top and made more obvious.

Thanks again,
Cheers . . . . . . . . Spring Harrison

And yes, we are already discussing if this interface option makes
sense.
