Re: [Qgis-user] Stress about release plans

2014-07-22 Thread Derek Hohls
Is it not possible to require an absolutely minimum entry, at the correct place in the docs, for a new feature? For example, if a developer adds a new function X to a list of existing functions, already documented in section M.N, then at a minimum they need to add an entry saying "Function X (

I have a similar problem to Dave, but a different error: sudo apt-get install python-qgis Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or be

[Qgis-user] PyQGIS: 1.8 to 2.0 upgrades?

2013-10-17 Thread Derek Hohls
Hi We have a third-party Python app (not a plugin) that we would like to upgrade for compatibility with 2.0. I came across this page - http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/API_changes_for_version_20 - which details some of the changes. However, just a quick check reveals that, where

David You wrote "(You) just absolutely have to make user-friendly documentation about your product, especially the api you keep talking about." I have been on the mailing lists of numerous open source projects over the years, and someone always raises this. Why? Well, its true. However, aski

Re: [Qgis-user] Re: New to QGIS, Best solution?

I found their conclusion somewhat disappointing. Arc/GIS was launched in 1999, and Arc/INFO (command line predecessor, equivalent to GRASS) in 1982. GRASS also launched in 1982 and ILWIS launched in 1984, so how they can say these are "relatively young" does not make sense. Also to keep in

[Qgis-user] WFS access causes QGIS to crash

Hi I am experiencing a strange problem. I can access a number of WFS services without any issues e.g. http://ogi.state.ok.us/geoserver/wfs but one service that I need is causing QGIS to crash (abruptly and without any warning). Other colleagues have no problems accessing the same service. I

[Qgis-user] QGIS Map Canvas errors (1.7)

2011-07-13 Thread Derek Hohls
Hi We are currently working on app developed outside of QGIS. We had previously worked with QGIS 1.6 and all was well... having now upgraded to 1.7 (also running under Ubuntu), it seems the QGIS map canvas is no longer working for us. Trying to display a layer (vector or raster) results in a n
