Re: [Qgis-user] disabling qgis.db

[Fuenfer-Koenigstein.Benjamin]

Hi Régis,

thanks for your reply! How did you do it? Python script on session start? In my 
case, it would be OK if e.g. users have their individual GUI settings or 
spatial bookmarks but all connections in browser-panel and default CRS should 
reset to (globally maintained) default on closing QGIS. Do you have experience 
how to implement that?

Regards
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
I think the guidelines for software generally assumes that user profiles should 
be in editable location. I'm not sure we can ensure you in the long run that 
you will not face regressions sometimes.
To adress your use case, I used to work with session startup script that 
cleared / reset user profiles on session close or session opening. The 
assumption was to let user free to change their profile settings but not for 
all settings (mandatory plugins for instance, default SRS..)

Hello,

I have an issue with creating a central QGIS configuration on a network drive. 
The goal is to have one read-only configuration that all users use. Generally 
works like a charm with starting QGIS 3.2 with --profiles-path pointing to a 
read-only dir. Users get the right settings, they still can play around but 
changes are discarded when quitting QGIS. Only problem is qgis.db, seems that 
QGIS necessarily needs write access to that file, otherwise it throws an error 
at start (but works with no problems subsequently). Is there any way to avoid 
that, e.g. starting qigs ‘silent’ or setting the path to qgis.db to a local 
user folder? Seems that qgis.db doesn’t contain any crucial configuration, 
though same bookmarks for all users would be nice to have.
I’m aware of https://issues.qgis.org/issues/13732 and generally understand 
Nathan’s and Nyall’s point of view but still think it would make sense to 
ignore qgis.db for use cases like mine.

Thanks for your ideas and help!

Regards

Benjamin Fünfer-Königstein

Re: [Qgis-user] 3.4.2: file dialogs freeze for several seconds (Mac Mojave)

[Saber Razmjooei]

I am having the same problem on other platforms too. It cab be related to:
1- Network drive
2- Several layers and lots of nested folder: it tries to scan all the files
(esp. zip files) which slows down things significantly.

Saber

[Qgis-user] Data vanish if deleting a field/column in 3.4.2 Warning

[Lene Fischer]

In a lecture today we should delete a field/column in a table. Geopackage.

Deleting went well.



When trying to save - all data vanished. We were not able to undo or retrieving 
the features.

When closing and opening again the open dialog showed all original 160 features 
- but none in the attribute table or in the canvas.



Error message was something about OGR..



This happend for all the students with version 3.4.2 Windows

Students with 3.4.1 had no problem  - and the same for students with 3.4.2 Mac 
- (great fun because it´s always the Mac users who are having difficulties..)



I have filed a bug report

[Qgis-user] Best Tablet Options for GIS Fieldwork with Students

[David Gwenzi]

I am exploring this option of running QGIS on a tablet PC with an
internal/external GPS for teaching purposes. Does anyone here use
tablet PCs for teaching a mobile mapping class? Which tablet device do you
use and based on your experience, what options do you recommend?

Thanks for your time.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2/GRASS

[Luigi Pirelli]

processing Grass7Utils.py is trying to understand the grass folders
assuming that the path is something like grass-... in
your case this path is grass-svn => bang! trying to convert it as int!
it's, I'm almost sure, a bug... can you fill an issue in
https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/issues/new

the fix is simple, but please share more about what is your qgis
installation and grass configuration

[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2/GRASS

Today I made an update to QGIS 3.4.2 and now I can't use anymore the

The GRASS plug-in is working (with GRASS 7.4.2). I am running a Windows 
10 machine.


Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

Thank very much

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi,

I can't contribute to your particular problems, but have some remarks.

You said you "reverted" to 2.18. On Windows, you can easily run 3.x 
besides 2.x. Do you have the same problems with 2.18?  If so, it's 
really your personal installation that fails, I think.


The node tool was redesigned in 3.x, and there is quite a discussion 
going on, cause not so many people like the new behaviour.


In general, I would like to say, that the promotion of the newest 
release shown in QGIS is quite a bad idea: The inexperienced will not 
hesitate to update and therefore run in every possible bug, being left 
clueless, while the more experienced are more cautious and install it 
only anlongside for testing purposes first.


The developers are in a bad situation: They need lots of testers to find 
bugs, but in my opinion they reach the wrong users with that 
advertisement. (no idea how to improve this)


Furthermore, the new version had a bad start, cause (as I understood) 
last-minute-changes in dependencies caught them unprepared.


Unfortunately, no one gives warnings about the major issues somewhere 
prominently e.g. on the QGIS.org website, so you have to read the 
mailing-list(s) and search in the issue queue yourself. In my opinion, 
in QGIS3 the developers were a little too ambitious, but it seems they 
also had kind of bad luck as well. Lots of features introduced are 
somewhat bleeding-edge and need time to ripe.


As I rarely use Windows, I'm not of big help. I just want to recommend 
you to use the network installer (advanced install!) and install the 2.x 
LTR and the 3.x LTR in parallel and update them through the installer 
once in a while, and keep 2.18 for productive work as long as you do not 
trust the 3.x version.


The open source mantra is "release early, release often", but that 
doesn't mean that everyone has to update early and often as well!


Cheers,

Bernd

random moments. I had thought that all the long pauses, messages of QGIS not

unique to my computer. I had even tried reverting to 2.18 for a while.
However, after I upgraded to 3.4.2 I still had problems.
Opening QGIS on Windows 10 can take over half a minute before anything
happens apart from the outline box of the QGIS window full of blank space.
Once a project finally loads up any random operation can still get the "QGIS
not responding" message.
This can result in further issues because I try pressing buttons to get a
response.
I even bought Anita's 4th edition of "Learn QGIS" to see if I was doing
something radically wrong. It did highlight a few wrinkles until I got to
page 55 when I discovered instructions on the edit node tool. This tool I
had used OK in the past, but it now baffles me totally. I cannot get it to
do what the book says.
I am now losing my confidence in 3.4.2 and can only hope that the next point
release will produce improvements.
It would really help if known major issues like this could be posted here,
perhaps as a sticky which stays at the top, to let users know that they are
not alone with an issue.
Sorry to complain.

Hi David,
everything you've detected happens since the transition to 3.x also on
windows 7 on PC with i7 4780 and 32GB ram.
any operation, even the simplest one, such as saving or calculating polygon
areas in a shapefile causes freeze of QGIS. Not to mention the node tool
where a forum should be open apart there is a ticket here but only 8 people
have participated ...
(http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Node-Tool-proposing-improvements-td5387054.html).
Moreover:
- there is  no currently a native topological verification tool of
shapefiles (the new validator incorporated in editing is almost impossible
to run on shapefile with hundreds of polygon in ...)
It will take years, in my opinion, before the 3.x version can be used
productively.
Unfortunately, the gap between users and developers remains gigantic,
although most of the developers say that users have been asked .. sin until
2.18.x everything was wonderful.

I Hope that somebody from QGIS.org can see our perplexities and adjust as
far as possible this version which for now remains only a container of good
ideas

Regards

[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10

[David Addy]

I have always loved QGIS and I have extolled its virtues to local historians
and archaeologists in my area.
I have had to keep quiet about it lately.
I was somewhat relieved to hear a comment on a recent video of the Oceania
meeting that QGIS 3.4.1 was a dud release as it caused Windows to crash at
random moments. I had thought that all the long pauses, messages of QGIS not
responding, and crashing when being closed down was some awful feature
unique to my computer. I had even tried reverting to 2.18 for a while.
However, after I upgraded to 3.4.2 I still had problems.
Opening QGIS on Windows 10 can take over half a minute before anything
happens apart from the outline box of the QGIS window full of blank space.
Once a project finally loads up any random operation can still get the "QGIS
not responding" message.
This can result in further issues because I try pressing buttons to get a
response.
I even bought Anita's 4th edition of "Learn QGIS" to see if I was doing
something radically wrong. It did highlight a few wrinkles until I got to
page 55 when I discovered instructions on the edit node tool. This tool I
had used OK in the past, but it now baffles me totally. I cannot get it to
do what the book says.
I am now losing my confidence in 3.4.2 and can only hope that the next point
release will produce improvements.
It would really help if known major issues like this could be posted here,
perhaps as a sticky which stays at the top, to let users know that they are
not alone with an issue.
Sorry to complain.

Re: [Qgis-user] disabling qgis.db

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi Benjamin,
I think the guidelines for software generally assumes that user profiles
should be in editable location. I'm not sure we can ensure you in the long
run that you will not face regressions sometimes.
To adress your use case, I used to work with session startup script that
cleared / reset user profiles on session close or session opening. The
assumption was to let user free to change their profile settings but not
for all settings (mandatory plugins for instance, default SRS..)
Cheers
Régis

[Qgis-user] 3.4.2: file dialogs freeze for several seconds (Mac Mojave)

[b.j.kobben]

Hi all,

Since updating to 3.4.2 (from 3.4.1, details below*) whenever QGIS uses my 
systems (MacOS) file dialogs I experience freezes of up to several seconds: the 
whole QGIS software stops doing anything and does not react. Until now it 
always recovers, gets back to normal, but it makes using the software annoying 
and awkward. I also notice that when starting, the QGIS icon in the dock does 
not “bounce” as it’s supposed to, but hangs frozen in the air

Did anyone else experience this, and (preferably) knows a solution...?

[Qgis-user] disabling qgis.db

[Fuenfer-Koenigstein.Benjamin]

Hello,

I have an issue with creating a central QGIS configuration on a network drive. 
The goal is to have one read-only configuration that all users use. Generally 
works like a charm with starting QGIS 3.2 with --profiles-path pointing to a 
read-only dir. Users get the right settings, they still can play around but 
changes are discarded when quitting QGIS. Only problem is qgis.db, seems that 
QGIS necessarily needs write access to that file, otherwise it throws an error 
at start (but works with no problems subsequently). Is there any way to avoid 
that, e.g. starting qigs ‘silent’ or setting the path to qgis.db to a local 
user folder? Seems that qgis.db doesn’t contain any crucial configuration, 
though same bookmarks for all users would be nice to have.
I’m aware of https://issues.qgis.org/issues/13732 and generally understand 
Nathan’s and Nyall’s point of view but still think it would make sense to 
ignore qgis.db for use cases like mine.

Thanks for your ideas and help!

Regards

Benjamin Fünfer-Königstein

[Qgis-user] QGIS Server GetPrint Use Redlining

[Pedro Henriques]

 Hello,

I using QGIS Server 3.4 and I'm trying to generate a pdf using Redlining.
When I make a getprint using redlining, it only returns me the pdf with the
drawing sent in the geomeria, that is, the layers that are in the project
qgs do not appear.

However, if you do a getprint, but without the redlining layers already
appear.

[Qgis-user] QGIS 2 to 3 conversion: text size set to 0

[Mithoefer]

Dear all,

I have a Project coming form QGIS2. The label text size has decimal 
places (e.g. 2.25). I can open the project with qgis3.4.1, everything is 
OK. But if I save the project as .qgz or .qgs and open it again the text 
size is set to 0. Has anyone experienced that? I do not have this 
problem using Linux or Win7.


Thanks and regards

Klaus
