Re: [Qgis-developer] Are there plans to create a unique "Add layer" tool?

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi all

Harrissou has quite intensively re-organised the doc, which is now, IMO,
much clearer. Thanks for that!

But lots of changes are in "suggestion mode". I'd like to accept all those
changes to increase the clarity and readability. Any objection on this?

Thanks and cheers

Stéphane

 Thanks Harrissou!

 I took the liberty to remove the first table (that I created) and to
 leave only yours. It is more complete anyway

Re: [Qgis-developer] DWG/DXF Import -- Geopackage

[Stéphane Henriod]

That would indeed make sense for the "DXF export"

But maybe less for the "DWF/DXF import", which is, basically, a format
transformation (so, for the "Vector" menu) and / or a way to add data to
the canvas.

Or, again, maybe I am missing a point :-)

Re: [Qgis-developer] DWG/DXF Import -- Geopackage

[Ramon Andinach]

I’m pretty sure it’s there because if you export to DXF you either export the 
view or the entire project - but either way it’s not just a single layer that’s 
affected.

-ramon.

Re: [Qgis-developer] DWG/DXF Import -- Geopackage

[Stéphane Henriod]

Ok, thanks for the clarification!

Then I guess that the window should be re-designed a bit. To me at least it
was not intuitive that "Geopackage" has to do with the output of the tool.

And yes, maybe both "DXF Export" and "DWG/DXF import" could be moved
somewhere else?

Cheers

Stéphane

Yes (same caveats apply about it being a rough first pass).

http://qgis-python.kartoza.com/docs/

When it is more tidy I will put it on a QGIS.ORG domain - I plan to split the 
docs into logical subgroups  and perhaps merge it into the cookbook so that we 
can cross reference the API from the examples. For now I am just playing around 
to see what is feasible - I will hopefully put some work into it a the QGIS 
hackfest in Essen.

I'd also try to work up some guideline so that we can require incoming code 
generates nice docs. In InaSAFE we have a 'tidy everything you touch' policy - 
it would be nice to institute the same in QGIS so that as well as unit tests, 
peer reviews also require decent API docs in order for code to be merged.

Regards

Tim
