That's IMHO not a bad strategy for QGIS. :Stefan P.S. Just in case - and another shameless plug (besides Vector Tiles Reader): There exists the HOT Export Tool (https://export.hotosm.org/) and my OSMaxx tool (https://osmaxx.hsr.ch/) to export arbitrary regions in "normalized" GIS formats (including aka hstore attribute "tag"), like GeoPackage. 2017-10-12 11:50 GMT+02:00 Mathieu Pellerin <[email protected]>: > Martin, > > I was a pretty heavy user of this feature/plugin until a few months ago when > it stopped working under master.
