Re: [Qgis-user] Click and drag files to QGIS 3.22 canvas

[Johanna Botman]

Hi All,

I have worked it out!
In Settings | Options |Data Sources, next to Prompt for Sublayers when opening, 
I have set that to Load All.
Now the old behaviour is back.

Thanks Ramon for trying to answer,

Yes, what you describe is what has happened in the past. A lot of our data is 
sent to us in Mid/Mif format and it was this that I was trying to load 
yesterday when the behaviour changed. I was still able to load shape files and 
geopackages. The import question arises with these Mid/Mif files. Is there a 
way to turn that off?

You don't often get email from 
cust...@westnet.com.au<mailto:cust...@westnet.com.au>. Learn why this is 
important<http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Hi Johanna,

(At least for me) that depends what I'm dropping.

If it's a file type with a single geometry it goes straight in.
For example shp or a zip file with a single shape file inside

If it's a file type with multiple geometries or a container with multiple 
possibilities then you'll get asked.
For example GPX or zip file with shape and explanatory pdf inside (because 
there isn't an obvious way of telling if the pdf is georeferenced and you might 
then want to load it).

Does that help?

Ramon.

Hi,
In the past, I was able to click and drag files from File Explorer on to my

dialogue box with Select Items to Add in the header. The beauty of the drag and 
drop was that it didn't need that confirmation.
Is there a way to turn that off?

[Qgis-user] Click and drag files to QGIS 3.22 canvas

[Johanna Botman]

Hi,
In the past, I was able to click and drag files from File Explorer on to my 
QGIS canvas. Today, after installing QGIS 3.22, when I try to do that, I get a 
dialogue box with Select Items to Add in the header. The beauty of the drag and 
drop was that it didn't need that confirmation.
Is there a way to turn that off?
