Hi Ramon, I posted a message on GDAL-Dev about my problem, which Frank Warmerdam was kind enough to pick up. See: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gdal-dev-TIFs-with-TABs-problem-td5056444.html I thought Agnes's problem might be the same (but it wasn't).

Re: [Qgis-user] open .tab
Hi Nick, Not that I'll definitely be able to help, but what sort of not opening properly? (and which QGIS?) What should happen is that if you open the TIFF, then QGIS reads the tab file for coordinate system information and displays it. 1.9 is better at this than 1.8 was. -ramon.

Re: [Qgis-user] open .tab
Hi Agnes, I'm having problems with TIFF images with TAB files not opening properly in QGIS. As with you, some do and some don't. Are your problems with images too?

Re: [Qgis-user] open .tab
If it's saying that, then load the linked data file and forget the tab file. As an example, you might have Image01.tab and Image01.jpg. Instead of loading the Image01.tab file, use the Open Raster Layer to open Image01.jpg. QGIS will then attempt to pick the right co-ordiante system for the jpg file and display it for you. There are ways to load xls files directly using plugins, but it may be easier to save them as csv and load those. There's plenty information about this if you look a little bit for it. Hope this helps. -ramon. On 28/05/2013, at 15:16 , Agi Neray wrote: > Hi Ramon, > thanks for your answer! It makes sense > This can the problem. Because my QGIS sais it is not a valid data source.

Re: [Qgis-user] open .tab
Dear Agnes, do you get an error message for those tab files what QGIS can't open? AFAIK QGIS can open vector tab files, there are raszter tab files and other special types (e.g. shape file opened by MapInfo). You'll get invalid data source message for those in QGIS.

Native Mapinfo tab files will open, but: 1. if there is more than one geometry then only one will will be displayed by QGIS (e.g. a file might contain lines and points, but QGIS only displays the points). 2. For some Coordinate systems (projections) there is are a few problems assigning the correct coordinate system in QGIS automatically. If the .tab file is a link to another data source (e.g. an xls spreadsheet or a jpg image) then QGIS will say that this is not a valid data source - because it's expecting a native tab file. However if you load the linked data correctly, e.g. the jpg through load raster, then you should be fine. Make any sense? -ramon. ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
[Qgis-user] open .tab
Hi All, I'm pretty new in the world of Qgis. What can be the problem if I can't open some (MapInfo) .tab file? Some of them was opened some not… I don't know what can be the reason of this. Could you help me please? Agnes ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
