Normally, I would be present at next hackfest and interested in working on this. From my point of view, the task would be: * Create a customizable vector menu based on Processing like proposed by Victor at Nodebo * List fTools menu entries, with candidates Processing algorithms, and dif

Hi Matthias, sorry, I was not aware that new algorithms currently get implemented in both, fTools and Processing (same for bug fixes). This may be because of my ignorance, as I only adressed Processing with both, bug fixes and new algorithms since it had been introduced. Bernhard Am 14.09.2

Hi Side note: that are now some ogr2ogr based equivalent algorithms available, that on average have significantly better performance than their ftools counterparts. Up until recently the absence of virtual vectors in Processing did not allow creating algorithms requiring two or more layers. But th

Hi Paolo, just a thought: AFAIK fTools does not use 3rd party backends, so the question of bulletproofness in conjunction with fTools IMHO should only be raised for those algorithms that are currently in "QGIS geoalgorithms". (Otherwise I fully agree: the rest should work flawlessly) As I said

I think Arnaud also raised the question sometime ago (my fault for not commenting on that at the time...), and it should be easy to add those shortcuts, but I haven't had much time lately for working on Processing. I wont be attending the next Hackfest, but sounds like a task that can be accomplis

Hi all, I recently recoded Processing's Dissolve. The changes fundamentally reduced the runtime of the algorithm. In the pull request discussion [1] Matthias and I came to a point where we were wondering about the future of fTools and Processing. I found this discussion from May [2]. What is
