Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10
I run the latest 3.4.x on Linux which has been very stable and reliable. It will be a while before 3.x is as mature and dependable as 2.x which was at 2.18 a very mature product that had been operating a good number of years. Used to run the development version 2.99 but these days I view "stable" as effectively development simply because other users (not me) have lodged reports for hundreds of bugs that are progressing only slowly. I wanted the new features in 3.x and would not go back to 2.18 now. On 11/12/18 6:49 AM, Bernd Vogelgesang wrote: Hi, I can't contribute to your particular problems, but have some remarks.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10
If you have enough resources running it in a VM is an option and can be a linux version, very stable and very resource efficient I used to have a bg stack of VMs running all sorts of versions when I used to run the development version more than I do now, it was almost seamless On 11/12/18 5:59 AM, David Addy wrote: 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.

[Qgis-user] associate images with a shape file
Hi I want to associate images with a shape file which I can then open. I am trying to use actions to do this but am not getting anywhere. I have a field with the file location as a text field. I have tried an open file and also tried running an application neither of which seem to produce a result. It works on a Mac but not on Windows 10? I am running version 3.4.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 still very slow to work in Windows 10
Plenty of bugs are being discovered and reported but not many bug reports are being opened, as it appears to me. I'm not aware of issues with the new node editor. It works very well most of the time. Qgis 3.4.anything is very stable on Debian, I stopped running it on Windows a long time ago.

[Qgis-user] GRASS doesn't import layer from various CRS gpkg
Hi group: Here whit QGIS: 3.4.2 - Ubuntu 18.04. I can't import a polygon from a gpkg file to GRASS as QGIS plugin. Message is: "Detected different projections of input layers. Input layers must be imported separately". Gpkg file has one GEO and two UTM layers, and I was trying to import one UTM layer. Perhaps GRASS have read the wrong place, so It refuse to import a layer from a geopackage with different CRS layers. Developers please take note about it.

It might be good to inquire with that project. https://www.gdal.org/ That does not rule out the possibility that someone might write a tool to read the format but it's more likely to come via OGR.

[Qgis-user] QGIS packaging for macOS: helping crowd-funding campaign
Dear QGIS users, We have been working on a prototype for QGIS packages for macOS [1]. The feedback we received was generally positive. Some users have reported a number of issues. We have asked QGIS PSC and they have agreed to eventually publish the signed packages as the official macOS packages on qgis.org. There are a number of tickets and improvements which we'd like to do, before incorporating it to the QGIS.org. For that, we are running a crowd-funding campaign. More details can be found here: https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdfunding/macos-qgis/ If you are a macOS user, please consider helping this campaign.

[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.2 Layer Groups and Themes
Hello, I'm using QGIS 3.4.2. I'm working many times with themes and groups. Im seein an un unexpected behaviour: I have my layers structured in a group with two subgroups. All Layers in the subgroups are checked, also the main group. I would create two themes: one with subgroup 1 active, one with subgroup2 active. So I unchecked the visibility of subgroup2 and clicked "add theme" theme1. I did the same for theme2 with subgroup1. When I changed to theme1 or theme2, I got the following result: The visibility of both subgroups were checked, but the visibilities of the layers in the subgroups were unchecked. For theme1 the visibilities of the layers in subgroup2 and for theme2 the visibilities of the layers in subgroup 1 were unchecked. So the map was ok, but the checking of the visibilities in the layer panel was irritating and unexpected. I would like to know if this behaviour is intended or not.
