Hi Devs,
Raymond Nijssen had an (I think) intriguing idea:
QGIS can open different types of table-data: dbf, excel etc etc
But if the excel contains an x,y,wkt column, you have to save it to
csv/tsv first, to be able to use the delimited-text-provider to open it
as a layer.
His idea: can't we u
Agreed. There is a plugin doing this, but of course having it as a standard
function is desirable.
Thanks for raising this.

Great idea! ;)
Question is where to implement it in the GUI. It overlaps the
functionality in the delimited text reader. Like pointing to the x and y
columns or choosing a column containing wkt.
Maybe it could be a 2 steps process? Step 1 is importing any table and
step 2 is creating a spatial la
Hi,
I think there are already 2 possibilities to show x,y /wkt or other
geometries for any kind of layers
* Geometry generators
* Virtual layers (no expert, but I guess that's possible)
So at least read-only this should be straightforward, read-write maybe
with virtual layers (?).

@paolo: which plugin are you thinking of?
Because for exampe xytools can open odt and excel, but via python, while

Hi,
I would welcome an "easier" way to open Point or WKT data from formats
that do not store geometries natively, as you propose. Thanks for
bringing it to the table, Raymond and Richard!
My suggestion would be to enhance the existing OGR "Add vector layer"
dialog with an option to choose colum

Hi Andreas,
I'd just like to see a way to create a new layer from any (attribute)
table in QGIS. So, even a point shapefile containing a wkt column with
polygons or a database table containing x and y field or an opened xls
sheet containing json somewhere.
My suggestion:

It's probably easier to fix that with a shortcut / setup wizard... than
creating the code to loop everything

Hi,
There are probably two different issues/use cases here:
1. Enabling geometries for already loaded layers (what Richard and
Raymond initially suggested)
2. Loading geometryless layers through OGR (or other providers) with the

Hi,
I have had that in mind for quite a while now:
- non spatial datasources that can be spatialized with XY / WKT or adress
geocoding.
- Those non spatial datasources are most of the time untyped datasources.
Some try to autotype like Excel, some not like CSV.
