[Qgis-user] Use dialogs on small WXGA-Monitors (1.280x768 pixels)

[Otto Dassau via QGIS-User]

Dear QGIS Users and Developers,

we have an older mobile device with WXGA-Monitor (1.280x768 pixels).
Dialogs such as "create a new WMS/WMTS connection" are more than 768
pixels high where almost 1/4 of it is blank space at the bottom of the
dialog.

Is there a reason, why this "extra blank space" exists and is there a
setting or a trick to handle those dialogs user friendly on smaller
monitors?

Thanks for any hint!

Kind Regards,
Otto

[Qgis-user] lizmap configuration disappeared

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

login as admin to lizmap client (3.0.4) I cannot see the menu entry "my
account" anymore to configure the client. I only can click on "exit". I must
have set some wrong hooks somewhere during another session :( and after that
the menu disapeared. 

Can I change some values in a config file to be able to see the Lizmap
configuration as admin again?

Hope the qgis lists is the right place for such questions. I haven't found a
lizmap ml.

thanks a lot
Otto

[Qgis-user] qgis server / xvfb on ubuntu xenial

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I have a problem using xvfb with qgis server on ubuntu xenial: 

* QGIS server 2.16 on trusty with xvfb 2:1.15.1 works well as described by
  Alessandro: http://www.itopen.it/qgis-server-setup-notes/ . We use it to
  render HTML in GetPrint.

* QGIS server 2.16 on xenial with xvfb 2:1.18.3 doesn't work. It doesn't
  crash but the HTML part stays empty. It seems that the xenial xvfb
  package doesn't work together with current qgis server.

Do others have similar experiences?

Regards,
Otto

[Qgis-user] Change PSC Community Manager Role

[Otto Dassau]

Dear Community,

there will be a change in the QGIS PSC. 

I (Otto) decided to step back from my PSC role as Community Advisor. I
enjoyed being part of the PSC for a couple of years but realized that I
won't find enough time in the future for this job anymore.

At the hackfest in Bonn the PSC decided not to recast the Community Advisor
role. Instead there will be team managers who together with a team of
contributors will take care about the tasks this role has included so far.

In this context we are happy to announce that we have already found two well
known community members to fill this gap - Lene Fischer from Denmark and Yves
Jacoline from France. Lene will concentrate on community tasks and Yves on
documentation.  

More details about the new structure will be announced by the PSC in the
near future.

Best wishes
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] * Important* Preparations for QGIS Developer Meeting in Bonn

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

we are now about 30 people on the wiki lists for the hackfest in Bonn and we
added some more accomodations to the github wiki:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint#Registered_Attendees
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/QGIS-Hackfest---Bonn---August-2016

but I have heard, that there are still people missing on the wiki list and
there are also still (about 10-15) people looking for accomodation. Please
add your names (also important for us to organize the dinner).

We are in contact with places close to the basecamp. If you need help,
please send an email directly to me, so I can organize something for you.

Regards,
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] package dependency conflict QGIS 2.14.4

Hi,

just got the hint from Angelos, that ubuntuGIS unstable yesterday got
updated to GDAL 2.1.0 and GEOS 3.5.0, so a re-built of the packages in
qgis.org should solve my problems.

Re: [Qgis-user] package dependency conflict QGIS 2.14.4

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Carlos,

thanks for your suggestion, but this doesn't seem to help, probably because 
qgis packages depend on libgeos-c1 and libgdal1h
see http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-ltr/lists/qgis2_trusty_main_amd64_Packages

and libgdal1h : Depends: libspatialite5 (>= 2.4.0) 
and libspatialite5 : Depends: libgeos-c1v5

and this causes the dependency problem: libgeos-c1v5 breaks libgeos-c1 as
the error message shows below. 

Is there another workaround or is it necessary to change package
dependencies in the build environment?

Regards,
Otto

[Qgis-user] package dependency conflict QGIS 2.14.4

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

trying to update QGIS packages (2.14.4) from ubuntgis-ltr repository on
ubuntu 14.04 gives a dependency conflict. Do other people have the same
problem? 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgeos-c1v5 : Breaks: libgeos-c1 (< 3.4.2-8~) but 3.4.2-4ubuntu1 is to be
installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may
be caused by held packages.

Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Webclient - "shortname"-Tag

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

no problem I think. 

Maybe it would be good to provide some information about the plans and
timelines after the start-workshop (as it currently happens for QGIS 2.x
vs. QGIS 3.0), so people don't get worried, that they make something wrong
with the QGIS WebClient I and others, who plan using the QGIS WebClient can
decide, if they want to develope based on the current QWCI or directly start
with the QWCII.

Hi,

AFAIK there are plans for a QWC II, but it is unclear when it will be
"released" as official successor. And I don't know either, if any concrete
development has already started or if there is a roadmap available. Currently
it seems to be a lot of testing and playing around with several solutions
and looking for funding - is that correct?

So to me QWC I is still alive and people develope on it.

[Qgis-user] Call for applications: QGIS Manual Update and Improvement

[Otto Dassau]

Dear QGIS community,

In the last few years we have been steadily improving the amount of funding
we are able to accumulate in the QGIS project. Our goal in obtaining funding
is always to 'make QGIS better'. Up until now we have focussed funding on
high profile aspects of the project: Funding regular hackfests, paying for
bug fixing work prior to releases, funding infrastructure such as servers,
domain name registrations etc. 

With improved funding levels we now have the opportunity to also start
addressing some of the many less obvious components of QGIS that badly need
attention, but often don't attract volunteers. In our PSC meetings it was
agreed that we would start this initiative by funding one or more
experienced users to improve the QGIS manual. Here, briefly, is the vision:

As an experienced QGIS user you currently have two main resources: The QGIS
manual and the QGIS training manual. In this call we focus on the manual,
which is already an excellent resource on available functionality in QGIS.
The challenge is to keep it synchronised with all new features, and examples
and figures often run the risk of being out of date. This is the case
already for several chapters of the manual for the latest QGIS releases and
we want to start optimizing this.

We would love to see the QGIS manual providing a readable narrative
explaining the purpose (with images and illustrations if needed) of each
feature. It can also provide short sample snippet where useful, which in
many cases you can simply cut and paste into your code and then tweak to get
started.

For this funded effort we are thus seeking one or more individuals to lay
the foundation for this work:

* verify and improve the norms and guidelines of the documentation and
  especially its update process together with the PSC.
* update the manual to include all features that are available within the
  latest QGIS release (2.12).
* update figures, if necessary according to the defined guidelines (size,
  desktop-environment, resolution,...).
* populate the manual with further short examples and improved descriptions,
  without competing with the training manual.
* do these in a nice clear and concise writing style, taking inspiration
  from other software manuals, if available.

If you think this is something you are able to do, please contact the QGIS
PSC using this form and let us know!

Best wishes,
Otto

Hi,

the geopole WMS server search does not seem to work anymore (maybe already
for longer?). I get a 203 error.

Is that correct and is there a workaround, another search engine to use in

[Qgis-user] show labels only, if objects are activated/visible

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

is it possible to show labels only, if the objects are activated/visible?

I use the rule based renderer with two nested rules, both categorized
rendering, like:

Cat 1
#

Road 1
 Cat 2
 ##

  |_ Lukas
  |_ Frank
  |_ Markus
  |_ Georg

Road 2

  |_ John
  |_ Leo
  |_ Herbert


If I deactivate labeling for some values in the first categorized
rendering (Cat 1), objects and labels are invisible. But if I deactivate
labeling for some values in the second categorized rendering (Cat 2),
objects are invisible but labels are still shown.

Is there a way how to solve this in the rule based renderer?

Thanks a lot

Dear local QGIS communities,

the QGIS Project now provides a clone of the QGIS U.S. User Group site [1]
at https://github.com/qgis/qgis-template.github.io. The aim is to provide a
generalized template, that local user groups can use for their website. 

The british [2] and italian [3] QGIS user group already started their site
based on the template. You are welcome to join but of course you don't have
to.

[1] http://qgis.us/
[2] http://qgis.uk/

If you have questions or need help, subscribe and send an email to the
Qgis-community-team list.

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

does anybody have experience with the Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G1 (with Windows
8.1 or 7 professional) and QGIS for field work? Especially working with
the onboard GPS chip is interesting. Does it work without problems?

[Qgis-user] QGIS hackfest Linuxhotel News

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I have some not so good news for all who arrive on wednesday and before
thursday late afternoon. I was just informed by the linuxhotel, that
they will have another big event on thursday, 2nd october. They have given
priority to this event, because that's what they make money with (we only
pay a very reduced price).

For us it means, we only have one smaller room (maybe for 15 people)
available on thursday until maybe 7pm and all others have to split up to
several other rooms in the linuxhotel.

We will find a solution anyway, there is internet everywhere, but I wanted
to inform you, so you are not disappointed, if we are not able to work all
together in one room until thursday evening.

Whish you all a save journey to Essen!

Regards
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] Stress about release plans

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Simon,

this sounds like a very good idea to me.

At the moment documenters look at the commit logs for a [FEATURE] comment
and add it to a wiki list. Then search through all mls, wikis and blogs, if
there is some howto available or at a least a short discussion or
description about that feature. If not we have to ask for help - all this
takes time...

If we have a simple skeleton about the feature automatically provided by
developers, we would be happy and it would be much easier to write a better
documentation.

 Being involved in several open source projects, creating tutorials for

 Users rarely are able to decipher code and trying to figure out when and

 Developers must provide at least basic information on what each new

 for. Without this users need to ferret through hundreds of emails and 
 forum posts, and pester the developers anyway. It is easier for devs to 
 provide a simple skeleton -- this does this, that does that, here is a 
 link, check out this bug etc. All this information is available at the 
 developers fingertips while they are working on the new feature anyway 
 -- it is just committing 30 minutes at the end to put some details down 
 on he page.
 
 With this basic information, documenters are better equipped to present 
 the feature in context and explain how it should be used.

Re: [Qgis-user] Stress about release plans

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Nathan,

thanks for the offer, but this is not the problem. After feature freeze we
currently do a git log --since=date --grep='FEATURE', that's ok. And Tims
changelog is also very helpful and often already fine as a beginning.

The result is in the wiki: http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/ManualTasks

But this covers not all changes we need to document nor does it usually
describe the usage. We still we have to search the web, so it would be great
to have a simple skeleton with a short description of all functionality of a
feature from the developers, if that is possible. 

Maybe we can offer 2 ways. If developers write about features in their blog
and describe how it works, as you do, you could just add the link
somewhere where documenters can look it up. For others a simple
documentation skeleton could be used as a standard.

Whatever we finally use, it would be good to improve the current procedure.

Regards
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] Stress about release plans

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I would prefere another solution instead of changing the releases. The
documentation team is in the same situation. We are always behind the
releases, but the problem I see is that there are not enough people working
on the documents. At the moment we were not even able to start updating the
manual for 2.4 yet :(. 

From my experience, we get many new features for every release because
developers work together on the master source.

For some reason trainers prefere starting from scratch working on her/his
own documents and training material, which is ok, of course but leads into
the situation Lene discribed.

Here are two ideas that come to my mind:

a) Trainers could combine their forces and prepair general training materials
together that everybody can use and extend. All tools and the document basis
is available and provided by QGIS project in the documentation repository. I
know there are many people conducting trainings on QGIS, if they all work
together as developers already do, we would probably be in a much better
situation.

b) An idea that already works for the development of QGIS features is paying
some amount or percantage of each development for good documentation and
training material. Many new features in QGIS are payed by customers. But
usually customers and developers don't think about also spending an
additional little amount to document the feature in the QGIS docs and
training material. I don't know why, but that's reality.

So for me, the problem is not just about changing the releases cycles. It is
more about bringing documenters and trainers closer to the project again to
combine their forces. And to make customers/users/developers aware, that
documentation and training material is an important part of the software and
should not be forgotten and maybe automatically added to an offer, if new
(payed) features are added.

Regards,
Otto

 Hi,
 
 This is not a mail about bugs or issues on a special feature – just a
 matter of time.
 
 Right now I´m preparing a 3 week intensive GIS course at university level
 - looking forward to these annual events. But I get stressed when I see
 that there are only 94 days until next version of QGIS. Because in
 November I start over again with a 8 week course and in February a 3 week
 course, in may a 3 week course. All in all we have more than 140 students
 learning QGIS every year – and they are impressed of this program!!!
 
  
 
 I love getting new features in the program, but fear the work to run
 through every assignment, every video and being a bit unsure how the
 program works in the latest version on the different platforms.
 
 Small changes which I haven´t noticed and therefore unaware of. So a new
 version so soon gives me a lot of stress and so many hours of work –
  hours which could be used to ex. testing.
 
  
 
 When I ask users to download the program they take the official latest
 version – sometimes with bugs included… It gives an impression of an
 unprofessional product (not my words), it gives me- and others hard times
 to fix or explain. I´ve been talking to other users/administrators who has
 the same experience.
 
 What if we had :
 
 ·    A long term stable version for ex. 12 months with bugfix only
 
 ·    A developer version for 4 months with new features and bugfixes
 = Stable version with short bugfix-period = New developer……..
 
  
 
 I do know it will give the developers more work – I do know it will cost
 more money – But I´m sure a lot of administrators will recommend,  use and
 support if we get a more stable environment.
 
 So please – consider another release plan in the future.

Re: [Qgis-user] Problems with RGB channels for jpg

Dear Nicole,

it might be a problem of your hardware and difficult to solve on the ml,
if it only happens on your pc with the same layer. As a workaround for that
file, you could create a .qml style file for the jpg file, after you changed
the channel order to r,g,b as necessary. This lets QGIS load the file with
the channel order you defined.

 Hi Otto,
 thanks for raising this question. AFAIK this is not easily done, and it
 should. In fact, also the reverse should be done: currently when applying
 a colour ramp to a raster, this gets stretched from min-max, which is not
 always appropriate (e.g. DTM ramps should be applied as absolute values.
 In short, I think we should extend our model for ramps, allowing users to
 define both absolute and relative ramps, both when creating and when
 applying them. GRASS could be a good guide for this.
 Better open tickets on this?
 All the best.

I opened a feature request for it. Maybe you can add your comment as well.

[Qgis-user] relative raster value color table in QGIS

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I would like to create a relative color table for raster data QGIS and
save them for other layers. Newly defined gradient color ramps end up in a
color table with fix values when I save it for a map.

for example:

# QGIS Generated Color Map Export File
INTERPOLATION:INTERPOLATED
6.916,0,191,191,255,6.916000
120.812,0,255,0,255,120.811600
234.707,255,255,0,255,234.707200
348.603,255,127,0,255,348.602800
462.498,191,127,63,255,462.498400
576.394,20,20,20,255,576.394000

and I would like to be able to save the relative values I defined in the
gradient color ramps dialog.

# QGIS Generated Color Map Export File
INTERPOLATION:INTERPOLATED
0%,0,191,191,255
10%,0,255,0,255
30%,255,255,0,255
60%,255,127,0,255
80%,191,127,63,255
100%,20,20,20,255

or maybe even have a mixed color table with fix values and percentage? 

# QGIS Generated Color Map Export File
INTERPOLATION:INTERPOLATED
0,0,191,191,255
60,0,255,0,255
30%,255,255,0,255
300,255,127,0,255
80%,191,127,63,255
100%,20,20,20,255

Is it possible to define such color tables in a text file and import it for
a raster layer? Or how would this be done?

[Qgis-user] Case study about aerial photo archive management with QGIS at IRPI in Turin, Italy

[Otto Dassau]

Dear Community,

we have a new QGIS case study written by Danilo and Franco Godone.

Franco Research works at the Institute for Geo-hydrological Protection of
Turin (IRPI-CNR) as a specialized technician. 
Danilo is Postdoc grant holder, at Turin University, studying geomatic
contribution in landslide, glacier and, more generally, natural disasters
monitoring.

The case study is about an aerial photo archive management, where they use
QGIS to cope (manage and analyse) with the large amount of aerial imagery
and other data.

You find the whole story here:
http://qgis.org/en/site/about/case_studies/italy_turin.html

Thank you very much Danilo and Franco for your contribution!

Kind Regards

[Qgis-user] item ID/UUID feature in print composer

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I would like to describe the item ID feature in the print composer a little
better in the manual. All we have is With the Item ID you can create a
relationship to the other print composer items. and I don't really know
what this feature can be used for.

Can someone explain and maybe give an example, where the item ID and
UUID can be used and are usually for? 

Thanks a lot
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] item ID/UUID feature in print composer

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Alex,

thanks for this, but I think it is something else. The item ID / UUID
already exists in the print composer since QGIS 1.8 or before. And it is
part of every element of the print composer.

Otto

[Qgis-user] We need help updating the qgis user guide for version 2.2

[Otto Dassau]

Dear Community,

at 2014-01-24 (11 days away), we'll go into feature freeze for the next qgis
version 2.2, which will be released at 2014-02-21 (39 days away).

To have an updated user manual at that time we need to build a documentation
team with people who take care about certain tasks and chapters after the
feature freeze. Please send a note to the community-team list, if you are
able to help, so we have a nice documentation again.

We will organize the work in the wiki...

 The structure of the tree changed, that is right. Some functions are
 accessing the tree elements with absolut indexes, like treename[0]
 
 With the new base / overlay layer a change was necessary in the
 structure. I didn't test all of the other functions.
 
 Instead of try to fix the current tree implementation, I think its best
 to start from scratch. With scratch I mean a ExtJS or GeoExt tree, which
 already has a lot of functionality.
 
 There is a ticket [1] with some ideas what would be needed. Feel free to

 Lars
 
 [1] http://hub.qgis.org/issues/8612

the list of things that are necessary to implement is quite long. Do these
ideas fit with the general future ideas for web client? If yes, it would
probably be a good idea make a plan to find people who are interested in
these features and would be willing to pay parts of this.

Can we roughly tell how much time/money it would take to implement the
different parts and in what order all these steps would have to be done. This
way we could start to search for funding. 

I added a comment with this notes.

Hi Andreas,

schrieb Andreas Neumann a.neum...@carto.net:

 Hi Otto,
 
 Originally the layer tree was expanded
 
 The modifications that Lars did for the support of the base maps broke
 it because it introduced an additional hierarchy in the tree. See
 http://webgis.uster.ch/wsgi/webgisLauncher.wsgi?uuid=cb84fcf6-bff8-45a7-abcd-e299548446b8
 - where I still use the old version and the layer tree is expanded by
 default.

ok

 There is also another function that is currently broken: the
 themeChanger. This is also because of the additional hierarchy. We
 should discuss this with Lars how to fix these two issues that worked
 before these modifications. Ideally we could hide the top WMS tree and
 make it invisible.

I added Lars in Cc: so we can discuss, how to fix this. I hope he can help
us with this.

 As to your second question: the Glarus QGIS webclient implements this -
 but we decided to not do it this way, because there will be in the
 future more layer-based functions and settings and we do not want to
 pollute the tree with too many options. We want to put all the layer
 information, settings and controls into a separate window. Otherwise
 people would have to scroll in the tree all the time. If your tree is
 nested 3-4 times the legend would only be visible 30% and people would
 have to scroll.

ok, I had a look at http://map.geo.gl.ch/

Are these changes available somewhere and would it be difficult to
integrate it in the qgis webclient as an option? 

I mean, if I only want to show a limited number of layers with a
simple/short legend, it would be nice to have the possibility to use this
option together with an expanded layer tree. This way would make it very
easy for unexperienced users to oversee all features and informations.

Otto

[Qgis-user] 10th QGIS hackfest will be in Brighton (autumn 2013)

[Otto Dassau]

Dear QGIS Community,

as you probably know, the FOSS4G conference 2013 will take place in
Nottingham from 17th - 21st September and we are happy that we are able to
combine it with the 10th QGIS hackfest.

Saber Razmjooei and Peter Wells from Lutra Consulting offered to host the
hackfest in Brighton from 12.-16. September 2013 right before the FOSS4G
(17th-21st September 2013). 

For people who are interested in going to FOSS4G afterwards it is not a long
trip from Brighton to Nottingham and we will try to organize the transfer.

As usual you will find all information in the wiki (not much to see yet):
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/10_QGIS_Developer_Meeting_in_Brighton_2013

We will start planning after the hackfest in Valmiera, which will take place
soon from 11th - 14th of April 2013:

Dear Community,

I am pleased to announce a new case study, this time from the Fundy coast of
New Brunswick, Canada. 

There is a wonderful trail created, maintained, and promoted by a group of
volunteers known as the Fundy Hiking Trail Association Inc. (FHTA)(1975). As
a non-profit organization the FHTA raises funds for its activities through
the sale of guidebooks that include a trail map.

The case study is about creating the Fundy Footpath Trail Map with Quantum
GIS. Author is Jarrett Totton. He is a GIS Technologist living in Alberta,
Canada.

You find the case study here:

[Qgis-user] Problem with qgis-web-client configuration

I installed qgis server version 1.8 using ubuntu precise. The WMS and WFS
work, if I add them to QGIS. Now I would like to play with the
qgis-web-client. I can see the web-client but the test maps Hello and

I guess I missed something simple to configure. But the log files don't say

 Hi Otto,
 
 In the next upcoming weeks we will increasingly use the options in
 GetProjectSettings - which wouldn't work with GetCapabilities alone.
 
 Right now it doesn't make much difference, but it will in the future -
 esp. for metadata display or initial visible layers.
 
 Also, if you want to use the advanced feature of separating the layer
 drawing order from the order in the legend tree it only works with
 GetProjectSettings.

  I would also start the developers tools in Google Chrome or Firefox and
  have a look at the network requests the browser is making. You can then
  test the requests manually and compare with the Apache server log.
 
  It may also be that it is making request to GetProjectSettings and you
  have an older version of the server - in which case you can set

[Qgis-user] manual conversion / update / translation process

Dear Documentation writers and translators,

we are happy to see that so many people are interested to translate the
documentation with the new tools. But the main task we currently have to
work on before any translation really makes sense is to finish the
conversion of the documentation from latex to rst and to update the rst
files to the new QGIS 1.8.

For that reason Paolo and I decided to block the translation process for
now. And we would like to encourage everybody to participate in the
conversion and update process for now.

The list of files, that have to be worked on are listet here: 
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/LaTeX_to_RST_migration

After we finished the conversion, we will set up a list for the manual
updates in the wiki. And then we will announce that the translation can
start. I hope you agree with us and as always, help is very
much appreciated.

Hi,

Angelos is right. Building QGIS for Application:Geo is based on packages from
the default repositories (python, ...) and from Application:Geo (geos,
gdal, ...). If you use other repositories for kde, qt, python etc. qgis will
likely fail.

I hope this explains your problems.

Tumbleweed in my opinion should only be used, if you are an experienced

 Builds in OBS assume that only the default repositories are used, with

[Qgis-user] QGIS WMS client doesn't work with epsg:31467 and mapserver 6.0.1

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I set up a mapserver 6.0.1 WMS server with some shape and tif files. As
projection I use epsg 31467. I can display the WMS in openlayers, the
shp2img works fine, too but it doesn't work in QGIS, except when I change the
EPSG in the mapfile to 4326.

I have another umn mapserver  6 installation with tif and shape data, and
there I don't have such problems. I don't get any error messages from the
mapserver logs and I can load the layers in QGIS as well, but they are just
empty/white.

This is really strange. Does anybody have an idea what I might do wrong? 

Thanks a lot

Re: [Qgis-user] Scale bar on degrees with project CRS on ED50 UTM31

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

you could try to set Layer Units in menu Settings - Project Properties -
General tab to Meters. Usually this should be done automatically, based on
the units of the CRS you select. Maybe that doesn't work?

 The same happened to me in a win stadnallone install on xp, vista and 7
 and ubuntu. Main thing, scale bar seem not to work well on 1.72.
 Nevertheless, I check if I coul use the measure tool and make a
 reprojection of som layers in UTM wgs84  14N and both procedures work ok.
 Then, Qgis recognizes my  CRS, but the scale bar does not work. I get
 around this by getting rid off the scale bar. Not a total solution but it
 works. and the only thing is to get use to work without the scale bar in
 the data frame.
 
 Hope it helps

[Qgis-user] spanish translation of QGIS 1.6 manual

Dear Spanish qgis users and manual translators,

There is a complete spanish user manual for QGIS 1.6 from Francisco Yujra.
He comes from Bolivia in the framework of a Swiss GIS project in Guatemala
for the Registro de la Información Catastral RIC.

I hope this is interesting for our spanish translation team: Mario Pisa,
Carlos Dávila and Axel Moser.

The manual is formatted as MS .docx file. I put it on the website as it is
and maybe you could use it and migrate the translation into our typical
latex manual style? I can send you the original manual, if you like and I
will add the doc to the docs repository as well. You find the pdf here:
