agreed - however, I think having the (editable) plain gdal command line at the 
bottom
is a major advantage of gdal tools for power users.

all the best.

Try with gdalinfo tool, if raster has projection, this tool will show
it. Also raster
can be displayed in correct place even it doesn't have assigned projection, but
has correct wld file. Maybe this is your case.

This is true only for tools, that are command line utilities. Extract
projection is
exception, it uses GDAL API and has no independent command line equivalent.

Also it is possible to add text field for additional command line arguments in
Processing.

thanks a lot

 Try with gdalinfo tool, if raster has projection, this tool will show

You are right:

Coordinate System is:
LOCAL_CS[unnamed,
UNIT[unknown,1]]
Origin = (1606490.380039062583819,4894971.249973144382238)
Pixel Size = (0.500,-0.500)

in this case, a .prj should not be written by the command (even better: the user
could be warned about this).

 This is true only for tools, that are command line utilities. Extract
 projection is
 exception, it uses GDAL API and has no independent command line equivalent.

sure

 Also it is possible to add text field for additional command line arguments in
 Processing.

that would be good. however, having the plain gdal command ready at hand (not 
the
processing wrapper) is very useful to prototype scripts.

All the best, and thanks.

[Qgis-developer] Gdal Tools: extract projection

Hi all.
I think the beahviour of this tool should be improved:
* no feedback is given upon completion (World file written)
* name is misleading (it is extracting a world file, not a projection)
* the prj is (optionally) created according to the project settings, so it is 
empty
for layers not loaded; the user should be warned, and the prj not created in 
this case.
Agreed?
All the best.
