Re: [Qgis-user] Recognition of SRS in MapInfo-Files

2013-05-24 Thread Andre Joost
Hi all, the problem is that QGIS (and GDAL/OGR) mixes projection and datum shift together in one EPSG Code. This is not the way intended by EPSG or ESRI. They handle projection and datum shift seperately. As a consequence, shapefiles by ESRI don't have datum shift paramteres, while QGIS and

Andreas - The problem is twofold - * QGIS (or rather the underlying ogr library) has a bug in some cases when determining the projection in TAB files (i.e EPSG:25832) . This bug is solved in version 1.10 of GDAL. * Your editing of QGIS CRS parameter database won't give you the wante

Dear Community, I just had an idea: If a shape file is created with QGIS a .qpj file is created as well. This file is used always when it is existing. QGIS doesn't care of settings in .prj file and just uses the definitions in .qpj file. That seems to be almost perfect, because all changes of t

I have to agree that a design scheme change may be more appropriate than a color change. I also agree with others that the new 2.0 icons look more professional, they are less user-friendly (similar feeling when GMail recently changed their UI.) Even the older QGIS icons looked nearly identical to

Hi Marco, I'm afraid I respectfully disagree. A "short adaptation period" won't make the icons more obvious. I'm not a big QGIS user. If I want to use /any/ function in QGIS, I have to stare at the icons and use the tooltips to figure out what button does what, so I'm not "adapted" to the 1.8 set,
