I think Nyall will have some more information where things go right and where they (can) go wrong. Before improving the dialog text, we will need some insights into what actually can go wrong and if we are able to predict that a certain output is particularly prone to suffer from deficiencies. As

Hi Richard, no, I was talking about QGIS2 (stable), but I was wrong about Qt5, I'm sorry. I've looked for Qt5 libraries installed only and didn't check that QGIS2 still uses Qt4. I don't have a clue, why the installer installed Qt5 anyway. QGIS2 doesn't have EPS export, does it? I can't find it a
