Thank you Victor, I will finish my Masters in October. I will be free to assist after that. Promise.

Contributions to that doc will be very welcome Thanks 2016-07-21 0:17 GMT+02:00 Johanna Botman < [email protected]>: Hi Andreas, Thank you for your response, and I think that your 'other' question is valid. I will see what I can do about that. But my other point is that there is very little documentation about what settings 'should' be applied to enable these providers. That makes it hard for users who want to get on with their work if they have to spend hours researching and experimenting. And, I've been around for long enough to know that I shouldn't whinge without thinking about volunteering to do that work myself. I am not in a position to raise my hand for that just yet. But you may see that before the end of the year. _______________ Johanna Botman GIS / Assets Officer Griffith City Council Ph: 02 6962 8168 Inactive hide details for "Neumann, Andreas" ---20/07/2016 07:34:20 PM---Hi Johanna, Orfeo Toolbox (photogrammetry software) i"Neumann, Andreas" ---20/07/2016 07:34:20 PM---Hi Johanna, Orfeo Toolbox (photogrammetry software) is quite specialized and is not From: "Neumann, Andreas" <[email protected]> To: Johanna Botman <[email protected]> Cc: 'Johanna Botman' <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: 20/07/2016 07:34 PM Subject: RE: [Qgis-user] issues with Processing Options Hi Johanna, Orfeo Toolbox (photogrammetry software) is quite specialized and is not part of the standard QGIS distribution. I also have no experience with it and can't help. GRASS is different - it's a general purpose GIS and should work well with QGIS. What are you struggling with regarding GRASS? ------------- The other question is: are you (I mean your Windows user account) a long-time QGIS user who upgraded from older versions? If yes, it can mean that some "out-of-the-box" settings don't apply, since you already have settings and they won't get overwritten (people wouldn't like that). So to judge things, it may be interesting to try from a new Windows user account and test if things work fine for a new and clean user account. You could then compare the settings and copy them over to the production user who upgraded from older QGIS.

I work where I have no permissions on my PC, so I struggle with basic read/write. My IT unit don't like installing via OSGeo – so that doesn't help either.

You have to understand that Processing is an open and extensible system - many providers can't be shipped with QGIS, because they are very domain-specific and would bloat QGIS or because of licensing issues. Hence they need to be installed and configured separately. However, processing providers that are shipped along with QGIS, such as GDAL/OGR/Postgis/GRASS/Saga should work out of the box and I agree with you, it shouldn't require extra configuration ideally. So what provider are you talking about?

Is there anywhere that there is some documentation about what those settings should be? I do realise that these come from a variety of sources and may vary from installation to installation. But isn't it time that QGIS moved away from users needing to know the intricacies of each installation? Why can't QGIS work straight out from the installation by now? I want to be getting on with my GIS work and analysis of data. I don't need to know about the details of the entrails, do I? And yes, I am a Windows user and I am quite happy with being provided with an .exe file that just installs everything I need. <end rant> _______________ Johanna Botman GIS / Assets Officer Griffith City Council Ph: 02 6962 8168 This e-mail, together with any attachments, is for the exclusive and confidential use of the addressee(s).
