Re: [Qgis-user] Change auto-selected column headers behaviour at delimited text import

Werner, you are totally right - compiling is beyond my capabilities.
Would be happy if you could do that, maybe it's useful for other users too.
 
Regards,
Roland

PS: I maybe falsely assumed you are self compiling.
If you want I can try that today evening and maybe create a pull request for master.

Hi Roland,
 
without trying it my first guess would be that the file 
 
QGIS/src/providers/delimitedtext/qgsdelimitedtextsourceselect.cpp
line number 587 has something to do with it ..
 
(trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "longitude" ), QStringLiteral( "latitude" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "lon" ), QStringLiteral( "lat" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "east" ), QStringLiteral( "north" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "x" ), QStringLiteral( "y" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "e" ), QStringLiteral( "n" ) );)
 
maybe give it a try.
 
regards
Werner

Hi,
when importing delimted text using the data source manager, QGIS automagically detects possible column headers that may hold geometry information - in the "Geometry definition" panel.
 
In my experience, if column names like "lat", "lon", "x" or "y" exist, QGIS automagically selects them for "X fIeld" and "Y field"
See also
where this part is highlighted.
 
I often have column names like "RW" (="Rechtswert") that hold the x coordinate and "HW" ("Hochwert") for the y cordinate. German speaking surveyors may be familiar with the terms...
 
Anyway, what I am looking for is how to extend the list of lat, lon, x, y, ... to make QGIS also senitive to my RW and HW column headers. Is there a way to customize that?

Roland
