Hi I have started looking at using the processing model builder in QGIS 3.0.3 for ETL tasks. A few initial thoughts:
- I would like to be able to resize resize model components, for example to be able to see the full name of a component. - Add support for copy/paste of components. If I have spent a few minutes or more on configuring a algorithm and need an additional copy of it in the model, copy/paste of the component would save me time. - Add support for selecting multiple model components by drawing a box. Also, Ctrl + A should select all components. - Improved support for undo/redo. - Add support for grouping components. Different parts of the model might might have different focus, such as transforming geometries, fixing attributes or doing calculations. I think it could help usability if I could group (in a visual box?) or colour the components accordingly. - In the tool "Fix geometries", I can´t specify the type of errors to look for and fix. That would help me understand the errors better. - I would like be able to add a new algorithm to the model without having to connect it to the other components directly. I would like to be able to add an algorith for later consideration. - Continuing on the previous suggestion, I would like to be able to connect an unconnected algorithm (already added to the model) using drag and drop. - I would like to see the number of features flowing through each connection. That would help me understand the flow and potential errors better. - When creating a new model, I often need to run a model quite a few times to test it. Each time, I have to select input layers manually when starting the model. Can I make QGIS remember the files I picked the last time? - If possible, I would like to see OpenCL/CUDA support for algorithms. I expect some of my tasks to be rather heavy (hours to days) and using the GPU could potentially speed up the processing a lot. - For some jobs, I want to zip the model output directly in the model. In these cases, I might also want to add external files, such as PDF documentation, to the zip archive. Support for that would be very useful in corporate environments such as ours. Should I open a separate ticket for each issue?
