Re: [Qgis-user] [QGIS-Developer] Announce - migrate our mailing lists to Discourse

I am excited about the move to discourse and the possibilities that it opens up. I am concerned and sad to hear so many voices upset about the move. I hope the transition goes well and we don't lose too many voices. -Bas On Thu, Apr 11, 2024 at 12:26 AM Adam Nielsen via QGIS-User < qgis-user@lists

Re: [Qgis-user] Missing Raster Calculator in QGIS 3.34

Sadly it looks like there was a port of the Raster Calculator to C++ and that functionality wasn't ported. https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/54035 On Mon, Dec 18, 2023 at 8:08 AM Lene Fischer via QGIS-User < qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > Hi All, > > I´m using QGIS 3.34 > > In processing>Ra

Re: [Qgis-user] Locking Font Characteristics for Text Items in Print Layout

Tim, I have never had the font style change on me after reopening a QGIS file. In other words they should be locked by default. To me this sounds like a bug or there is an issue with the way fonts are working on your system or your QGIS file is getting corrupted in some way. If you can share your f

Re: [Qgis-user] Z and Elevation

Manolo, You may already know this and be asking a deeper question that I am not understanding but in case you are not: The Z is the value derived from the geometry itself that QGIS uses to draw the location of the point. The Elevation is an attribute associated with the point (a field in the attrib

Jérémie, I went and looked at my notes from when I was testing this after QGIS 3.24.1 came out and I had misremembered. Two people can open it at the same time without the sidecar files being created. We have not had any problems using gpkgs to read data on google drive for desktop. Editing is not

Re: [Qgis-user] Open GPKG layers in read-only mode

I use gpkgs in google drive. Since this change https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/47098 which should have happened in qgis 3.24 by default they open without creating sidecar files. However if it edited or is opened by a second person it will create the sidecar files. On Sat, Apr 1, 2023 at 3:28 PM

This is all beyond my expertise but I have also struggled with the effective use of gpkg’s. In my case over google drive. Here is what SQLite (the underlying software for gpkgs) says about using a SQLite database on a network: https://www.sqlite.org/useovernet.html I hope that someday someone impl

[Qgis-user] DXF layer locking

Hello, I was excited to discover recently that you can drag and drop DXF layers into QGIS. The layer keeps its reference to the dxf and when the dxf is changed the layer is updated. The only problem I have had is that if I have the layer open in QGIS AutoCAD won't let me save the dxf because it thi

I find that windows will open the version I installed but continue to say the previous version when I open it by searching windows. In my case it says 3.18 but opens 3.26. Could this be happening to you? On Mon, Oct 24, 2022 at 4:40 PM krishna Ayyala via Qgis-user < qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> wro

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and geopackages in sharepoint environement

Although it is not recommended we use google drive and as of the latest release it works ok for most files including Geopackage. In past versions any time a layer on a geopackage was opened this would cause the file to be marked as changed and upload the whole file. In the current version (3.26) th

I have been experiencing the same problem. It seems to occur when there are a lot of elements in the map. Very painful experience. And I agree that it seems like it shouldn't need to be calculating while you are typing. On Wed, Aug 3, 2022 at 7:33 AM Jésahel Benoist via Qgis-user < qgis-user@lists

Yes - because they added vector georeferencing it is now under the Layer menu. On Thu, Jun 30, 2022 at 1:04 PM Richard Greenwood via Qgis-user < qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > Has the raster>georeferencer menu item moved in 3.26? I can't find it in > my raster menu. > > -- > Richard W. Green

And even easier is to put them all in a group then copy the style from one layer and paste it onto the group. This will apply the style to all layers in the group. On Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 3:22 PM Thayer Young via Qgis-user < qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > A method that is a little easier tha
