I just ran into another problem... how do you pass a list (of strings) to a QT function which requires a QStringList (which is not available anymore).
File "/home/softdev/share/qgis/python/plugins/GdalTools/tools/GdalTools_utils.py", line 208, in getRasterFiles workDir.setNameFilters( filter ) TypeError: QDir.setNameFilters(QStringList): argument 1 has unexpected type 'list' On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 3:12 AM, Nathan Woodrow <madman...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey all, > > I have decided to manage the SIP API update process so that we can have it > done by 2.0.
