Dear all, * I opened a grass location within from qgis (based on epsg:31466)
* I load a grass vector map and a dialog asking for the projection system appears (Define this layer's projection). Question 1: Why qgis "asks" about the coordinate reference system since, we all _know_ that there is one and only reference system for a GRASS location? * I did no pay attention to that so, a few weeks ago, I saved a grass vector map (projected actually in epsg:31466) as a Shapefile. * While saving the Shapefile the dialog "Projection Selector" appears, which asks for a choice and "promises" that "The data points will be transformed from the layer coordinate reference system". * I discovered today that this Shapefile obtained the wgs84 "tag" (reading the .prj file) but the spatial extent (reported by ogrinfo) was something too big to be degrees:min:sec. Question 2: Should there be a transformation or not? I think it's a bit confusing to ask for a grass-vector about its coordinate reference system. Or is it my misunderstanding?
