Hi Andreas,
* if possible use a newer QGIS version like QGIS 1.7.x - there is a lot
of activity in QGIS development and it usually helps to stay with the
current stable version. One day you may even want to try OSGeo4W and the trunk
version ;-)
Thanksfor the recommendations i have done so and seems to be working great.
Why do you want to open layers with Python?
After reading online Manuals i believed just as MapInfor has MapBasic, QGIS
uses Python to customize menus.
Is it not enough to just
load a QGIS project file? Is there a specific reason why you want to
load the layer with Python? It is certainly possible, but there may be
simpler options.
This project will be launched on PC's for certain departments and they do not
work with QGIS(they need it for display only) and most of the time they require
a automated program where they do not need to learn steps of opening up
projects
It is certainly possible, but there may be
simpler options.
Nice to know that it is possible,I would like to know about the simpler
versions.
The other requirement: why do you want a separate menu for layers if
there is a layer tree already where you can right-click and zoom to the
layer extent?
Like I have mentioned our staff are more comfortable with an automated system
as how they've seen it in Mapinfor.
What do you gain if you have a separate tree in the menu if you already have a
layer tree in QGIS?
a click and all is done.
I appreciate your suggestions and hope to get positive responses...
Is it possible to automatically update the QGIS database when we make changes
in Access table??or it has to be done manually every time we update the Access
table(.mbd)
Regards
Naomi

Hi Naomi,

* The other requirement: why do you want a separate menu for layers if there is
a layer tree already where you can right-click and zoom to the layer extent? If
you insist on such functionality: there is a plugin called Layers menu from
project.
Again: your requirement should be possible to fulfill with python - but I fail
to understand the requirement properly? What do you gain if you have a separate
tree in the menu if you already have a layer tree in QGIS? Is it worth the
effort developing such functionality?

Hi I am new to Quantum GIS,
The organization i work for wishes to introduce QGIS to the Pacific
Island Countries(the fact that is an Open source).
i would really appreciate your help/assistance.
The project that i am working on is to migrate a Project that i have
completed in MapInfo 10.0 using Map Basic 10.0 into QGIS.
Customised MapInfo Display Of Land Cover Of The Low Lying islands
I wish to display the same in QGIS.
My PC has :
· Windows XP(and so do the other users in the department to which i
will need to install QGIS in their systems when i get it working)
· Python 2.7
· QGIS 1.6.0
Is it possible
* Automatically open a layer using python “considering Windows
XP”(I see a lot of examples on linux and Unix)…If so can anyone
please guide me thru some codes or sites for more clarification.
* Write a program to create a dropdown menu in QGIS to select layers
and it automatically zooms to the layer selected rather than using the
layer control to select manually.(WINDOWS XP)
I have a whole lot of questions I will begin with these two…..
I appreciate your suggestions and hope to get positive responses..
Can anyuone help me with python codes that will do the two points
above...if possible.
Thanks
Naomi
