Hi Marco. >> Added two ntv2 entries and updated two entries, hope it is correct now.
Great Marco, it is working now with ntv2 grids. Since there is now a duplication, I think you can delete the grids entry with coord_op_code 100004 and 100007. >> I still feel uncomfortable to delete / update towgs84 entries in the qgis db >> only.

These parameters belong to epsg_nr 1571. The only point of contact between this entry and the portuguese entries, is that both uses 4258 (Geographic CRS ETRS89). epsg_nr 1571 uses it as source_crs_code, and some transformations for Portugal (ntv2 grids transformations) uses it as target_crs_code. >> (though I don't know . Is it 4258?) The biggest mess in my mind is precisely this. Is that, even the possible incorrect match between source and target codes does not make sense, because the geographical crs related to 30004 is 4326 (+towgs84). We only use 4258 for ntv2 grids. So, these options in red in the image should not show up. I think this problem only happens with the portuguese transformations, right Giovanni? >> Maybe it could be done in the packaging (location is system dependent and >> there is not proj function call to get the right location). >> Budling ntv2 files with the application is a frequent request.

Problems I see are: >> - too large install package if lots of files are present >> - requires to check every file license >> Problem 2 can easily be solved if a volountear steps up for maintaining. I can check the portuguese grids license. Thank you very much Marco!
