Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and QT Designer
Hi Leo, QGIS is far from being optimal for mobile solutions currently. I hope this can be improved with future versions. There is an effort going on for QGIS an Android. See http://android.qgis.org/ and http://android.qgis.org/download/qgis-for-android.pdf Personally - if you do a lot of data input (esp. with text) - I would use a small laptop or notebook - not a tablet. The virtual keyboards are way inferior to physical keyboards. The other thing is that QGIS desktop UI is not yet optimized for touch usage. It may work - sort of - but is certainly not a good user experience. If you deal primarily with point data and want to use a phone/table - you may want to have a look at Nextgis mobile - see the email thread starting here: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2013-July/023123.html - it will collaborate with QGIS and is more user-friendly and light-weight. Don't get me wrong - I hope that QGIS improves in mobile space - and work has already started. And I would appreciate if more people/organizations would put work or financial resources into improving it. But if you look for a good and quick solution now - you will probably be disappointed. -- To answer some of your other questions: You can also attach a form to non-geometry table. You can then open the form by right-clicking a row in the attribute table - again - this may be a bad experience on a touch-device, where the rows in the table may be too small and you would probably have to long-click as there is no right-click. BTW: why do you have the impression that only Windows tablets would work? You can also use Linux/Ubuntu based tablets or Android tablets. The Android version still needs some further improvements/testing. Panasonic does good outdoor tablets: http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughpad/us/best-android-rugged-tablet-overview.asp Hope this helps. I would love to see the mobile input improved in QGIS.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and QT Designer
Hey Andreas, With a bit of work you can make QGIS work pretty well on a touch device. I have it running nice on a Windows Surface with a reduced interface and some Python code. This is why I built QMap. https://www.dropbox.com/s/nzd1sziwrmacxbc/qmap.png - Nathan On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 5:38 PM, Andreas Neumann a.neum...@carto.netwrote: Hi Leo, QGIS is far from being optimal for mobile solutions currently.

[Qgis-user] Setting up an FTP server to read a json file
hello, I try to open a json from an FTP server. I configured my FTP server for the rights to read and write on my file, authorized the reading of the file before downloading. When I open my file from the url ftp://user:password @ urlfile, Qgis told me that the file format is not recognized. This same file located locally or on a personal FTP server (ftpperso.free.fr ) works perfectly in QGIS. How to setup the FTP server for QGIS can read the json? thank you for your reply Christophe ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and QT Designer
I'm trying to use using qgis for field survey with a panasonic CF-19 Tablet PC coupled with an XP tablet edition. I use it with 2 battery and a low cost bluetooh GPS. It's a good solution for field work when you need to survey complex data (as a geological or geomorphological survey) and not just point or simple data. As Andreas said, Qgis is not yet well optimized in order to use it with field device but I can work with QT form and GPS quite well. The major problems for me are the poor integration with the handwriting recognition keyboard, the lack of some GPS features and freehand annotation on the map. You can also try BeeGIS, a plugin for uDIG developed for field work. It has all the basic feature for field work, incuded manual and automatic GPS waypoint recording and form editor and some other nice stuff. The limitation of Beegis, on the other hand, is that it doesn't support spatialite and that it is has a less complete GIS functionality. I hope for the future to support the developing of some kind of integration of BeeGIS field tools with QGIS in order to have an unique GIS framework for field an office work and to couple the best quality of the two sw. 2013/7/19 Leo Kris Palao lk.pa...@gmail.com Dear QGIS Users, I am exploring the synergy of QGIS and QT on a tablet for field work and field validation activities.
