Hi Alex

Isn't it a regression to go from sqlite files to text files? Sqlite allows to search tables with sql and afaik this is used in several places.

while moving and editing flat text files is much easier for ordinal users

Ordinal users normally don't care about CRS at all. I agree with Andreas here that it is much more difficult to have knowledge about CRS than using an sqlite editor (or the commandline prompt).

Marco

Hi all,

currently QGIS used srs.db to store projection definitions. But with
this approach
users can't reorganize CRS definitions as they want (always used predefined tree
with predefined groups).

This can be solved by switching to file-based storage of the CRS
definitions as in
latest ArcGIS versions or wxGIS. All CRS definitions are stored as
files in WKT or
SPR (preffered) format in subdirectories in some redefined folder and
user can freely
create new subdirectories and move files between them to organize
CRS'es as he/she
wants.

Opinions, comments?

Thanks
