Hi all, however we are going to solve this .. +1 for better projection support.
reason: there are a lot of downloadable shapefiles by austrian government which are obviously produced by ESRI products (with austrian projection) - but when I load them in QGIS I still get "custom projection" with the same parameters as the austrian projection (I think it was 31259). So there must be something wrong with projection recognition. So beside the better projection CHOICE support - there is still some thing to do .. regards Werner On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 9:41 AM, Andreas Neumann <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Paolo, > > I think it would be worth to have better projection choice support in QGIS. > It is really hard to select proper projections, esp. for new users.
