Re: [Qgis-user] DB manager PostGIS import fails for strange reason

[Mats Elfström via Qgis-user]

Hi!
Thanks to a tip in this thread, I have been able to confirm that the table
actually contains multipart polygons. So the error message is right, and
since the first found feature is multipart, the import fails immediately.
If I select only the single part features, the import runs with no problem.

Two questions remain to solve the issue.
1/ How come that the gpkg table properties are reported as
geometry=Polygon? Is it so that geopackage polygon tables do not
differentiate single and multipart?
2/ How do I force the DB Manager to create a MultiPolygon table instead of
a Polygon table?

Regards, Mats.E

Hi again!

Andrea Giudiceandrea responded :"*it seems to me the error message
says the contrary: you are trying to import MultiPolygon geometries in
a Polygon column geom type table.*"

Well I am not sure about that. It may be a semantic matter.
The PostGIS table is non-existent at the time of import, so the importer
can create any geometry type needed. Preferably polygon since the table in
the geopackage has geometrytype=Polygon.
And the error message "*PostGIS error while adding features: ERROR:
 Geometry type (MultiPolygon) does not match column type (Polygon)*" does
not really define origin and target.
Knowing that the geopackage table is polygon I assumed that for some reason
a PostGIS multipolygon table was created, causing the mismatch.

But let us assume that you are right - that the origin really is
multipolygon - how can I specify that a multipolygon table be created when
importing it to PostGIS?

[Qgis-user] DB manager PostGIS import fails for strange reason

[Mats Elfström via Qgis-user]

Hi!

This regards QGIS version 3.26.0-Buenos Aires.

Attempting to import a gpkg poly layer to PostGIS I get this unexpected
error.

*Error 6*

*Feature write errors:*

*Creation error for features from #-9223372036854775808 to
#-9223372036854775808. Provider errors was: *

*PostGIS error while adding features: ERROR: Geometry type (MultiPolygon)
does not match column type (Polygon)*


*Only 0 of 179 features written.*


There is no option to set geometry type in the import settings, and a
MultiPolygon table should anyway be able to accept single polygons.

A corresponding gpkg point table from the same source can be imported
without problem.

I normally use FME to load PostGIS data, else I would probably have come
across this sooner.

"*Did you create an issue for it? Else there will never be fix 'eventually'

No, I did not. I figured that enough people would stumble on this error

And as it turns out, a freshly downloaded installation file worked w/o
problem.

Nyall, and QGIS fellow users and friends!

No one is born with knowledge, but everyone can learn.
Which is what I am trying hard here.
I humbly asked for user collaboration, and took great care in explaining
what I have done, and what I am aiming at.
(see also the thread "*Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4*")
I have not given up yet, but I will drop this thread.
As you imply, it has taken off in the wrong direction.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS server in professional use?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Richard!
I agree, those steps should do it.
I tried to carefully follow the instructions (as I have been told to do) on
this page.
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/server_manual/getting_started.html#installation-on-debian-based-systems
which differs considerably from your instructions. Are these steps
unneccesary?

1 You do not create a virtual host
2 You do not edit the .hosts file

Those two steps have caused me the most worry, because I did not see the
point of doing that, and the instructions are not very clear.
Have you read my quite detailed report on every step of the described
installation process, where everything went smoothly until the virtual host
was added?

I agree that this may seem as an HTTP server configuration problem more
than a QGIS Server problem.
But they are connected, QGIS Server is of no use without a HTPP server.
And I consider the documentation of any software an integral part of the
software. So that incomplete or false documentation can be considered a bug
if it prevents the software from running.

This machine is up on the net, has a PostgreSQL/PostGIS geodatabase with
lots of data and Geoserver 2.19 up and running. No problems there.
I am not too happy if I have to start over on a new machine.

Regards, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS server in professional use?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Thanks to Jorge and Benoit for trying to assist with missing information.
I have attempted to include the suggested code snippets into my virtual
host file, and am at least able to start Apache2 now (there were errors I
had to figure out).
I am not too happy about the resulting mix.

*Conclusion: FAIL*
qgis_server.fcgi is running locally. check
Apache2 is accessible on port 80 (http://geonet.se) check
But despite all efforts, the request
http://geonet.se/qgis/my_12?SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetCapabilities
invariably gets a 404 Not Found response.

*Conclusion*: QGIS Server is not ready for production.
There is a fatal bug, the missing parts of the documentation which prevents
the setup and configuration of the service.

Now I have to fall back on Geoserver, despite the miserable cartography and
the SLD file difficulties.

Tired and not so happy, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] Very strange installation problem QGIS 3.20.3

Hi Nicolas!
That is not an option. I have had QGIS installed in 'dotted' paths since
2.xx
Currently 3.10, 3.16 and 3.20.1, all suggested by the installer.
Dots in paths and folder names are perfectly valid and has nothing to do
with 'local hard drive'.

Hi!
I was going to install 3.20.3 in parallel with 3.20.1 when I got the
strangest installation error.
"Installation directory must be on a local hard drive."
I can think of nothing more local than C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.20.3\

What is going on here? I have never come across anything similar.

Hi?
Is anybody using, or know of someplace where QGIS Server is used in a
professional and public service, using Apache as web server?
I would be immensively and eternally grateful if anybody in a position to
do so would share the secrets of the Apache setup and configuration to act
as web server to the QGIS fcgi service. Preferably also how one can rewrite
the url so that  a GetCapabilites request to a workspace folder will return
a Geoserver equivalent response.

Many many thanks beforehand, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Richard!
I should have mentioned that. The request you suggest gives a Not Found
response.
The request
http://qgis.demo/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?service=WMS=getcapabilities
gives
*Project file error. For OWS services: please provide a SERVICE and a MAP
parameter pointing to a valid QGIS project file*
Doing that, like this
http://qgis.demo/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetCapabilities=/home/qgis/projects/my_12.qgz
I get the wanted XML file. I would like to query the catalogue instead of a
single project file.

And like I said, the same request is valid for QGIS desktop *on the same
machine*.
A similar request, using the DNS name for the server, from the outside
http://geonet.se/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetCapabilities=/home/qgis/projects/my_12.qgz
gives a 404 not found response.
Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this server.
--
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu) Server at geonet.se Port 80


*Conclusion*: QGIS Server is running behind the firewall but not accessible
from the outside, *which of course is the purpose for my concept*.

*Comment on other replies*: I am not saying that QGIS server is not ready
for production or immature. On the contrary, it seems well documented and
ready. I seem to recall that it also is OCG compliant and certified.
*But * I am saying that the instructions for installation and
configuration, particularly for the interaction between QGIS Server and the
http engine are insufficient and sketchy. Regardless of OS, apparently.

Re: [Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Mats Elfström]

 from ‘other
clients on the network’ and the *myhost *name. What would be the point for
this? Not surprising,
http://geonet.se/cgi-bin/qgis_mapserv.fcgi?SERVICE=WMS=1.3.0=GetCapabilities
from the outside returns


*Not FoundThe requested URL was not found on this server.Apache/2.4.41
(Ubuntu) Server at geonet.se <http://geonet.se> Port 80 *
Doing just http://geonet.se returns the Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page
And here the show stops.

   - I might add that PostgreSQL and Geoserver are accessible from the
   outside, and Geoserver serves WMS to the Internet as expected. Port 80 is
   obviously open too.
   - I can also access QGIS server from QGIS desktop *on the same machine*,
   using http://qgis.demo as root. But I had to include a MAP request in
   the string, with a full path to the project file.


Conclusion: The missing piece of information seems to be how to make
Apache2 direct incoming requests to QGIS Server, OR how to configure QGIS
server to run as *your default website. *As all the rest depends on this,
it is a vital piece of information.

[Qgis-user] Configuring QGIS server on Ubuntu 20.4

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I am setting up a Geodata stack. I have installed PostgreSQL/Postgis and
Geoserver under Tomcat9 and FME:d a lot of data to PostGIS. All is up and
running.
Then I installed QGIS 3.20. No problems so far. Then I decided to try QGIS
server as an alternative to Geoserver. But I am having trouble configuring
QGIS server, or Apache2 rather.
Over the past 5-6 years, I have spent more time and energy than I care to
mention trying to make QGIS server run on Windows servers. Asking for
advice on those occasions, I have more than once got the advice to use
Linux instead, since no QGIS developers really know Windows servers. And
Linux would be much easier.
Fair enough. So now I am on Ubuntu, sudoing this and that and it works
pretty well.
Apart from QGIS server. I find the same mess of incomplete or contradictory
instructions. No wonder QGIS server is under-used.
If Linux(Ubuntu) is so simple, how come no one has put together a working
script to configure and deploy QGIS server on a standard setup?
I am most disappointed, having spent yet 5 hrs that I will never get back
on QGIS server.

[Qgis-user] Auto-Find on unavailable layers?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
QGIS 3.14.16

What is this option supposed to do?

All I get is a small, empty dialog which goes into a not responding state.
QGIS then needs to be shot down.
The missing layer is a shape file which I have moved from one location into
the QGIS current project (Home) folder. So finding it should be easy.
As it is if I choose Browse instead.

[Qgis-user] 3D view broken in 3.16?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Has there been a significant change in underlying 3D libraries for 3.16?
When people ask I use to claim that QGIS does not need any particular
hardware to run, even if more RAM and high resolution screens are always an
advantage. But that goes for any software, and is more standard that it
used to be.
But now my trusted HP ProBook 4530s (2011) laptop refuses to display any 3D
views from QGIS. This goes for both the ThreeJS plugin and QGIS 'native' 3D
view. The latter paints an image, but out of zoom and scale, and it cannot
be moved or rotated.
I have the latest (2016) drivers for the built in Intel GPU and see no
possible settings to play with. I have had no problems with this up until
3.14.

[Qgis-user] QGIS release confusion

[Mats Elfström]

 Hi!
I am a bit confused about the current QGIS releases.
The splash screen for QGIS 3.10.2 says Long Term Release, but the download
page maintains that 3.4.15 is the LTR. or Long Term Release Repositories
(LTRR?).
Instructions for the Network installer says
"To get the *long term release* (that is not also the latest release)..."
Which one would that be?
And the road map says that 3.10.3 will be LR/PR, due tomorrow. And no LTR
until october.
Is there a difference between Long Term Release and Long Term Repositories?
The release schedule says "four monthly releases with LTRs in late
february".
Please clarify.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] Keep Georeferencer window in focus?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I seem to remember a discussion on a setting to keep the Georefencer window
in focus when getting reference points from the map canvas. Now I am unable
to find it, and see no obvious item in the Georefencer plugin config
variables. This is QGIS 3.4.10.
Using a dual, or widescreen setup, there is no need to hide the raster
window, and it would be most helpful to see them both at the same time. An
option to always get map canvas coordinates would also save a lot of clicks.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS3 Server on Windows Server and IIS

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Thanks for hints.
I forgot to state a fourth assumption:
* I believe that there are QGIS users who know how to deploy QGIS Server
under Windows server, and are willing to share that knowledge.

Not that somebody would freely volunteer to figure this out for fun. This
mess is very far from fun.

I have given Docker a try. First, I had to commission an expensive Windows
2016 machine, since Docker will not run on 2012 which all my Geodata
machines use.
And where there are no problems with components like PostGIS, Geoserver and
so on.

So I installed Docker and was within minutes stuck in a proverbial quagmire
of missing files, missing rights and whatever. In short, Docker did not
even initialise properly.
I will not go there again.
I fail to see the point of having to run a simple application in a virtual
Linux machine within a virtual Windows machine. Too many layers on that
onion.

[Qgis-user] QGIS3 Server on Windows Server and IIS

[Mats Elfström]

Hi All!

I have once again made a futile attempt to establish a QGIS Server on a
Windows Server. This time with a twist, I want to use IIS instead of Apache
as web server. These two posts seem to indicate that this is possible.

https://domasin.github.io/valgrande/qgisserveriis.html

https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/Installing-Mapserver-under-IIS-7.n-with-FastCGI

I also second this Stackexchange question which so far is unresponded to.
https://gis.stackexchange.com/q/315932

These are my assumptions:

· I believe that QGIS 3 Server can run on a Windows Server machine
(2012 is my current option)

· I believe that IIS can be the web server for QGIS server.

· I believe that a stable process for this installation can be
proven and documented.

However, available descriptions do not work. In many cases, they describe
specific paths and files which may differ from case to case, and thus
create errors. It would be better if someone who really knows could
describe what needs to be done in general terms, rather than “copy these
files from here to there”.

I will once again extend an offer to provide a solution to this situation.

1.   I will, at my own cost, provide full access to a vanilla Windows
2012 Server to perform and fully document a complete QGIS3 LTR desktop and
server installation and configuration, using IIS as web server. Configuring
IIS will be part of this.

2.   The offer is open to any individual who can indicate relevant
experience, and for a reasonable amount of time. The documentation will of
course be tested and released as open source and hopefully also be part of
the QGIS3 documentation.

3.   My contribution will be the cost for the machine and time for
testing. The applicant will provide his/her time and knowledge.

Applicants please respond to this thread, as I want the effort to be as
open as possible.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] QGIS with Boundless Explorer

[Mats Elfström]

 Hi!
I am struggling with a QGIS - Boundless Geoserver Explorer - Geoserver
setup.
I realise that Boundless' stuff is pretty outdated, so I'd like to know
which the latest versions are that are supposed to run together? Also, if
there are certain 32-64 dependencies that must be met.
The platform is a Windows 2012 64 cloud server.
Curently, I have

   - QGIS 2.18.25 32 bit
   - Geoserver Explorer 0.6 (boundless repository)
   - Geoserver 2.13.3 on JVM 1.8.0_191 32 bit

This does not work. I get a recurring Python error:

local variable 'layerItem' referenced before assignment

or various other fatal Python errors when attempting to publish layers and
generally communicating with the Geoserver.

There is no QGIS 3 version of the plugin.

I have tried Geoserver 2.14 to no avail.

I have also tried the QGIS version from Boundless, the so called Boundless
Desktop. Same error unfortunately.

This points to the Geoserver version as the culprit. Is anybody able to
confirm this?

I would really not like to downgrade that, since I'd like this server setup
to be as current as possible.

The bug tracker at Boundless github has similar questions, but no help.

I'd appreciate any troubleshooting hints.

[Qgis-user] QGIS style linking

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I would like to link a QGIS style library to a project file, so that I can
edit a style in the style manager, and then see that edit on the canvas
when it redraws.
Is that possible, and how could it be done?
I have thougt about tagging objects with the style feature name, but I
cannot find any variable that refers the style library.

[Qgis-user] Instant Qgis 3 crash on the zoom icon

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!

My question is: Can somebody point out a working setup for a Qgis Linux
cloud server? I terms of Linux distribution, Qgis version, mode for remote
access and so on. Life is too short to test more variables.

For the last couple of weeks, I have explored the world of virtual cloud
Linux servers and Qgis. A painstaking endeavor, I might add. My goal is to
set up a stable Qgis server instance, with QGIS 3 on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic. I
want to run QGIS desktop on the same server for map design and have remote
desktop (VNC or RDP) access from a Windows machine. The server shall also
run a current Postgresql/Postgis instance.

 I have tried Google cloud instances, Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure but
these fell through because of clunky admin interfaces and bad remote
access. I did not even get so far as to install Qgis on them. The most
successful attempt so far is on City Cloud, a Swedish cloud provider.

After hours of trial and error, and several machines scrapped along the
way, I managed to get the above setup up and running, serving a couple of
live wms services. Then, for no reason, Qgis desktop fell out of the game.
It crashes invariably and instantly when touching the zoom in/zoom-out
icons (key shortcuts as well). No trace, no error message, just vaporware.
And I mean that I just click the icon, I do not even get a chance to hit
the canvas before it dies. Oddly enough, it worked initially for a few
days. No point in filing a bug for this, as no one will be able to
reproduce my setup. There is no remotely close bug report, either. I have a
hunch that the problem comes from the gui system, the vnc server or both.
That is why I need advice on a stable working setup.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] QGIS 3 installation on Ubuntu

[Mats Elfström]

Hi all!

I am in need of some advice, because I am venturing into unknown territory.
I want to explore the Linux side of QGIS, and I want to set up a Linux GIS
machine (Cloud based). Bear with me, because my computing skills are in
Microsoft territory. However, they date back from DOS days so I would say I
am sufficiently computer literate.

I have selected Ubuntu as platform, since I have some experience from that.
Which version matters less, I have several to choose from on my Cloud
provider.

In the process, I am trying to piece together instructions and tips from
different sources, of which the most reliable seems to be the ones at the
qgis.org site. However, there are some puzzling obstacles. I have tried
using QGIS 3.2 Bonn, and Ubuntu 18.04 bionic btw.

1/ For Ubuntu, I am adviced to load Debian repositories. There seems to be
no Ubuntu folders. Are Ubuntu and Debian equal in this respect?

2/ The installer is unable to find ”deb-src https://qgis.org/debian bionic
main”, while ”deb https://qgis.org/debian bionic main” worked fine. I
carried on neverteless, but it seemed to give an incomplete installation.

3/ The instructions give the advice: ”In case you would like to install
QGIS Server (note that it’s not a common practice to install both client
and server applications on the same machine)…”

Why is that? To me it would be common sense to install QGIS desktop and
server on the same machine, to make sure that published map designs share
the same paths and database connections. How else to ensure this? I have
Windows servers with QGIS 2 desktop and server residing on the same machine
with no problem.

Furthermore, I plan to install Postgresql/Postgis on the same machine as
well, for the same reason as above. Is that unsuitable too?

Thankful for any advice, or links to a reliable installation manual. Note
that i have scrapped the Cloud machines so far, so I cannot go back and
test stuff. I always find it more reassuring to follow a straight path to
success rather than going back for repairs at this stage.

Regards, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS communication platforms

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I am sad to say that I disagree strongly with the views expressed in some
replies to my earlier post.

I am a kid of 63 who has found that Facebook and Twitter are important and
 invaluable sources and platforms for both communication and information.
And kids of a younger age are, and must be our target audience. I do not
know about you abroad, but in Sweden there is an alarming lack of students
and graduates in the geospatial sciences. It is now hard to find educated
young people to fill the gaps when us old kids retire. I try to evangelize
QGIS as good as I can and have opportunity to, and an FB page needs no
explanation, while mailing lists are an unknown entity. Among younger kids,
i mean.

Second, I am a volunteer. I run a Facebook page for QGIS in swedish, and
try to pick up news on QGIS development and QGIS use of a general interest.
Time is a factor, of course, but using FB I need not spend any time to
maintain userlists, login procedures, web servers etc. I can spend the time
I can offer to maintain the content of the page, which is what should
matter in the end.
An I do not think that 2+ FB QGIS likers deserve to be so lightly
disregarded.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Sponsor Offer

[Mats Elfström]

Just to clarify:
1/ I have volunteered many hours trying to install QGIS Server but failed.
I wanted to document the process and offer that to the community.
I tried to piece together and use the fragments of information that can be
found on the subject, but it became too much trial and error and pure
guesswork. At one point, I had it running, but with the mentioned
guesswork, I could not stand for the validity of that installation process.
I concluded that I am missing information which probably is exclusive to
the author of the software.
2/ I am not asking for help for my personal needs. I offered a platform for
someone more clever than me to be able to provide documentation to  qgis.org
3/ IIS is not required. Feel free to choose any web server, but the
installation manual must cover the installation and configurationof the web
server as well.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] QGIS communication platforms

[Mats Elfström]

This is what 20 774 QGIS likers on Facebook get as QGIS news.

​
Surely they are entitled to a bit more attention?
Why do you cling to old century mailing lists and bulletin board technology?
How many subscribe to this list?

[Qgis-user] QGIS Sponsor Offer

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I made this offer a couple of months ago, but it probably got buried in the
thread because no one has responded. I still think it would be good for the
QGIS community to get updated and working installation instructions for
QGIS Server, and this is my contribution.

Background
To my knowledge, there is no current, official and validated installation
and configuration manual for QGIS server on Windows 2012 server.

Offer of sponsoring.
I hereby offer unlimited admin access to a Windows 2012 R2 server in the
cloud, to install QGIS and QGIS Server, configure it and publish one QGIS
project, and document and publish reproduceable step by step-instructions
for this platform.
Admin access will be granted for a reasonable time, to anyone in the QGIS
community who wants to do this, and has sufficient QGIS and Windows
experience. I will decide who gets access, and will monitor and follow up
on the process.
The resulting documentation will of course be offered as part of the QGIS
Server manual.
The candidate may select which web server to use, even if I would prefer
IIS.
The candidate may also select the kind of data source for the published WMS
service.
I will provide one vanilla Windows 2012 server cloud machine for a
reasonable period of time.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] QGIS 2.16 cannot use WMS services as 2.14 did

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
For some reason, existing projects and WMS connections from 2.14.3 does not
work in 2.16.
Capabilities download fails, or I get Map request failed [error:Connection
closed.
Is there some fundamental change in 2.16 that needs another setup or other
parameters for WMS?
Most of the the services I use needs basic authorization, but that seems to
work. The error occurs as the map is to be rendered.
We rely heavily on WMS for background maps, so this is a showstopper for v
2.16.

Re: [Qgis-user] A qgis2web, or maybe openlayers, question on displaying feature attribute of WMS data

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Kuan!
Not all wms services are queryable. This is for the provider to decide, and 
nothing to do with QGIS. But if they are queryable, qgis2web should provide for 
that.
However, it would be very useful to be able to select and format the output. 
Some services has a lot uf surplus information, and system dependent field 
names may need to be aliased for readability.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Server on Windows Server 2012 R2

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Uros!
Now I have spent a reasonable amount of time for yet another failed attempt
to install QGIS server.
I did not get past the Apache part.
First, the VCRUNTIME140.dll reported missing. Solved by installing a later
vcredist.
Next, I get this: Cannot load c:/php/php5apache2_4.dll into server: %1 is
not a valid Win32 application.

Googling this gives the same ad hoc assortment of guesses.

Here I give up. This was not a valid description.

Hi Uros!
No I did not. Your post was under my radar. It seems reasonable, and 
I will give it a try and report back.
What I really would like is for a QGIS developer to explain how it is supposed 
to work, the prerequisites that are needed, and ultimately build an installer 
that delivers a working installation.

[Qgis-user] Heatmap plugin questions

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Running the heatmap plugin in QGIS Essen, I have come across a couple of
anomalies.
I would like to check if these are known or reported before exploring
further, or reverting to a fail safe process.
1/ Subselected layers (Provider feature filter) are not honored, but
produces an empty tiff stub file.
2/ Point data from sqlite crashes the plugin and minidumps QGIS.

I can add that the heatmap plugin works as expected against a shape file
layer with no Provider feature filter.

How about https://data.gov.uk/dataset/os-mastermap-imagery-layer ?

Re: [Qgis-user] ARCGIS Geodatabase import raster

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Grant!
You need to know your data. That is prio one.
As the open API:s for file geodatabases do not support raster storage, you
will need to get back to your supplier and request a data format you can
handle.
I nevers store rasters in gdb since it is a dead end.
There are many other raster formats, well suited for GIS data to choose
from.
GeoTIFF and ecw are my favourites since they contain (or can contain)
georeferencing information.

Re: [Qgis-user] [QGis 2.10]Error while saving shape file

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Pierre!
Your Id field, which you updated, is it the FID or Object ID field in the
shapefile?
If so, you have broken the shape file by updating it outside of ESRI
applications.
The FID is the internal key between the geometry and the dbase attribute
table, and it should never be altered or trusted, or used for any purpose.
Actually, QGis ought to hide that field by default.

[Qgis-user] Boundless Opengeo Explorer and QGis map publishing

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I am just curious: Has anybody ever had any use of the Boundless Opengeo
Explorer?
I am beginning to fear that I have spent a lot of money and utterly wasted
weeks on an all but useless piece of software.
There is absolutely no comprehensible connection between what I design in
QGis and what eventually is put out from Geoserver.
Only the most rudimentary cartography survives the transition, on random
occasions.

Good Night

Re: [Qgis-user] desktop icons on fresh windows

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
It is not uncommon that software asks politely for permission to add desktop 
icons. That is one suggestion.
Another is to create a Qgis icon folder in the startup tree where the seldom 
used icons can be put in a sub folder under the standard Qgis desktop and 
browser icons.
The icon folder should be named after the Qgis version, with a user option to 
rename it.
This is how FME has done for years, which also incidently makes it easy to keep 
and adress parallel installations of a couple of older versions, as a 
precaution against disruptive bugs.
I know of no other software that needs to explain what has been installed.

Re: [Qgis-user] FileGDB: missing FID column

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Do not rely on the ESRI FID/ObjectID for any external purpose.
It must be treated and considered as an internal ESRI geodatabase
parameter, and can be unpredicatbly rewritten any time by ESRI processes.
This goes for gdb tables as well as shapefiles. Of course, if you
completely externalise the data, and never intend to link it back or use it
in its original environment, you can keep the FID and use it for your own
purposes. But since it is never more than a random integer, it may be even
better to create a UID yourself. If you do this in the original table you
can safely rely on that UID even if the ESRI FID is rewritten.
It may be by purpose that you do not see the FID in QGIS, because of the
above.
Here is a similar question from a while back. Read the helpful replies.

Re: [Qgis-user] Creating Geometries for tabular data

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Martin is right. This is a piece of cake in MapInfo and a very useful work
flow. The suggested method requires that you look up the object in the
table and then copy its uid to the created object. This is an unefficient
method.
I have recently struggled to do the same in ArcGIS which proved to be just
as inadequate as QGIS in this respect.
MapInfo can create a spatial table without geometries, that is the
difference.

Probably the easiest way to do this would be a join - so if you made me do
this I would do:

1. Create a layer (say a shapefile) with a point and a unique ID.
2. Make sure that Unique ID is reflected in your tabular data (point 1 has
a corresponding '1' in the tabular data or a point of "Water Park" has a
"Water Park" in your table)
3. Right click on your shapefile with the points (or polygons) and go to
properties -> Joins. Pick your two fields that are the same - and join
them.

After a successful join right click and "save as" and make a new
shapefile/Spatialite layer with all of your attributes.

Hi,

I’m after your suggestions for the best work flow for adding spatial data
to existing tabular data.

Say we have a tabular list of playground equipment – I want to associate a
point object with each row in the list – so I end up with spatial and
attribute data in the one table.



I used to do this in MapInfo, you could open a table of purely tabular
data, select a row in the attribute table, adding a point in the map window
would create a map object for the selected row (rather than adding a whole
new row to the table).  I don’t think I can do it like that with QGIS – am
I right in thinking if there is no geometry for a row it will be excluded
from the attribute table?



How do people do this in QGIS?

Re: [Qgis-user] Call for release name suggestions 2015

[Mats Elfström]

Once, Qgis versions were named after planetary moons. We probably ran
out of those, at least those known to the public. However, they had
the advantage of being unbiased, in terms of earth nations, language
or ethnicity. Place names can be biased, like: now it's time for a
latin american name and so on.
May I suggest the periodic table of elements as base for the naming
instead. By cleverly using the groups one could even indicate
major/minor version changes.

 Please see below,
In my experience, if you want QGIS to work within Windows with some
stability with GRASS and SAGA you need to use the OSGEO4W installer not the
standalone.

   1. Backup python Plugins(C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\qgis\python\plugins for
   Python Plugins)
   2. Delete the OSGEO4W folder
   3. If you have other versions of the software installed via standalone
   installers, uninstall all the Programs (QGIS,GRASS, SAGA etc)
   4. Run a search for QGIS and delete any other folders (besides your
   Backup...be careful)
5. If you don't have ccleaner or similar install it, click on Registry
   (Left icon second from top), Scan for issues  then Fix selected issues,
   repeat untill there are no issues.
   6. Download most recent version of OSGEO4W installer (not standalone
   QGIS installer see  http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ )
   7. Do a standard Desktop instillation, It will install QGIS GRASS SAGA
   and uDig, R should also be installed (Im open to correction)
   8. When you have finished over wright the plugins folder with the backup.
   9. Now you may have some issues initially, but redirecting is easy
   enough, just direct everything to the corresponding OSGEO4W folder.

This is what I remember having to do with my last instillation, I cant

  Dear QGIS users

 My name is Evanilton Edgar Serrão Pires, I am an Environmental Engineering
student and a QGIS user.

 I started to use QGIS 2.2.0 Valmiera last year and since my first
installation it never installed GRASS and SAGA correctly (their shortcut
never appeared correctly and never worked, therefore I could never use
those applications inside QGIS)  . At that time I was using Windows 8. When
I started QGIS it appeared a dialogue box saying «QGIS couldn't find your
GRASS installation.

Would you like to specify path (GISBASE) to your GRASS installation?». And
inside QGIS, SAGA and GRASS algorithms never worked properly. With the new
releases of QGIS 2.4.0 Chugiak and 2.6.0 Brighton, when uninstalling, it
would uninstall and install normally, however, always telling me that the
previous version was already installed at the time of the installation,
although I uninstalled it previously.
 Early this year, I bought a new computer (which came with Windows 8.1
Single Language) and I installed QGIS 2.8.1 Wien in first place (the first
app to be installed right when I bought the computer, after the anti-virus,
of course) and for my joy, it installed GRASS and SAGA correctly and was
working very well, in such way that I was very happy with it. However, on
the 25th of May, I uninstalled the 2.8.1 version and installed the 2.8.2,
but for my displeasure, the GRASS and SAGA plugins were not properly
installed again.
I went to the QGIS project website looking for solutions and I found a page
saying that I should specify the path for the ''.exe'', but in the program
folder  there is no executor file. I even installed GRASS independently
again and in the new installation folder there is no ''.exe'' either. When
I install SAGA independently it does not work with QGIS.
 Another strange thing is that after I have uninstalled the 2.8.1 version
and tried to install the 2.8.2, for the first time when installing it
appeared the information of skipping all the folder creations and
extractions, and at the end it said that QGIS was installed but the
application did not exist in my computer. When I installed for the second
time, it extracted and created the folders, and when finished QGIS was in
my computer. Attached you may find the file it produced in the first
attempt.

 I always install using the standalone-installer.

 If you need any further information, please let me know.

 What should I do? Is it normal for the software never be completely
removed from the system? Please, I really would like to solve this issue.

 Hope to hear from you soon.

 QGIS is really good and useful, and I think we should promote its
development.

 All the best to you guys

[Qgis-user] How to run QGIS Server on Windows 2012 server

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I want to run a GIS stack with PostGIS, QGIS and QGIS Server on a Windows
2012 Cloud computer.
Please tell me how to configure QGIS Server.

I have PostGIS up and running and QGIS client too. Apache responds
correctly.
But there seems to be no connection to the QGIS Server.
Get Capabilities gives an Internal error.

I have tried to follow the handful of step-by-step instructions there are
out there, none of which work. Incidently, two of them refer to each other.
And they all seem to be slightly out of date, or mostly referring to other
OS:es.
One would want to find an authoritative and current instruction here

[Qgis-user] Geodata storage

[Mats Elfström]

Hi all!
Bearing on a recent thread which in part discussed QGIS in mixed
environments, I would like to raise the question of geodata storage.
Choosing the right client for different tasks and needs is one thing, but
they must all be able to access the same data.
File based storage is out, for obvoius reasons, but that still leaves a
handful of able geodatabase formats and vendors.

Which, in your opinion, would be the most efficient geodatabase for a mixed
ESRI-QGIS-AutoDesk environment?

I have been struggling for some time to find a feasible platform and the
strongest contestant today is PostgreSQL/PostGIS, possibly in combination
with a WMS server.
But while QGIS gladly accepts any version, ArcGIS stops at PostGIS 9.3 even
at the latest 10.3 version.
ArcSDE is not an option beacuse of the cost.

Re: [Qgis-user] SQL to update table

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Chuck!
Another approach, which may be useful at other times, is to simply exclude
these rows from label rendering.
There may be times when you want to shut off certain labels without
actually changing the table.
This is done in the Rendering box of the labeler.
Unbox Show all labels... and then write an appropriate expression below.
In a PosGIS table, this expression was valid:
fieldname IS NOT NULL

 I also tried to construct a query from within the query builf=der at the

[Qgis-user] Deploying Qgis in an organisation.

[Mats Elfström]

Hi all!
I am looking for hints on how to deploy Qgis as a desktop GIS tool for a
limited number of users.
My idea is to have a common program repository with plugins, a map and
layer catalogue, and some basic settings, but still allow individual users
to create their own work environment.
In this way, updates and configuration changes need only be applied
centrally, and distributed on program start to each user.
This is a windows environment on a shared corporate network.
I wish to avoid a manual installation for each user, which would be
impossible to maintain and get out of sync at once.

Regards, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] Non Earth projection

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I think that Priscilla does not mean another celestial body by 'non earth',
but rather the old MapInfo concept of a non projected flat coordinate
system. This is called a cartesian system, and would be useful in case QGIS
is used to digitize scanned paper drawings for instance.
In MapInfo, a cartesian table can be set up to a high resolution since such
projects typically covers very small areas (printed drawings).
Many years ago, when QGIS was still a toddler, I solved the problem by
simply disregarding the projection factor since it would make a very small
difference for a small area.
But I did spend some time trying to create a flat projection. This failed,
being a contradiction in terms.

 Yes you can create your own projection in Settings-Custom CRS.
 You'll need to create your own proj4 compatible string. Comparing a few
 similar projections should help you figure out what you need.

 Note in recent versions of QGIS if you look in the Projection on the Fly
 dialog, there are several Mars projections and Coordinate systems.

 Need more help, please provide more information about the planet
 size/shape and type of projection.

Re: [Qgis-user] TAB file export

[Mats Elfström]

Hi all!
For tricky spatial data management, I would like to recommend FME from Safe
Software.
No other tool offers the same platform independent toolbox, with complete
and repeatable control over the process.
You may find that tedious and complicated tasks that you usually perform in
your production environment can be scripted and fully automated in FME,
leaving you, the GIS professional more time for analysis and presentation
of information.
If you see the cost of FME as prohibitive, count the time you could use
more productively (and perhaps charge) instead of trying to figure your way
through command line tools with unpredictable results.

 In QGIS you can use the Topology Checker plugin.

 Sorry Alex,

As you certain know the
The QGIS server is really far from be a good WMS Server.

It has not the multy style rendering.
It has not the named groups if don't allow to change the html response .
It don't allow to return a GML response to the user in a GetFeatureInfo if
don't active the WFS ption.
This is obviously unacceptable.
Because there is some layer that a Public Administration cannot put in
download as they are.

The GeoServer and MapServer are real WMS Server and they allow all of this
and more other thinks.

I don't speak of velocity where the coparing is impossible.
But alsoin the rendering capable.
I guess the Mapserver (the one that I know very well), has monay point of
advantage on qgisserver.

The ONLY question good of qgis is The project qgis is the the same in the
server.
But this mean only that the  qgis-server is good for fast prototyping, no
more.

When go in production and the users grow the qgis-server will become
rapidly a bottle of neck.

So the investiment need to enhance the qgisserver to have a good and fast ,
fully complaince and affordable wms server are massive.
This could be ask to a public admiistration to fund.

But if it is not  a compliant wms server it could not never choose to start.

You think really that ths is a killer advantage that could put an
administration to choose an incopmaptible with the WMS specs piece of
software instead of a fully compliant with the WMS specs ?
:))

Is really ore easy to invest on an author for GeoServer of for Mapserver
rather than waste public fund in a Incompatible piece of software.

Because the laws deny to choose it.

I guess you can also hope to sell your service to someone .
But if it ask you:
Hey your software is compliant with OGC WMS ? This is a mandatory need for
inspire.

You what say to your possible future client ?

Yes (but you say that the real response is NO)
or say No hoping that it say no problemI fund it to became, using the
public money and rejecting other more compliance and also opensource
soltion as mapserver or geoserver.

As an exmaple:
We fund really many enhancement in qgis.

And refund the same think when pass from 1.8 to 2.0.
After the our product was break in the pass from 2.0 to2.2 and now go to
refund again to have them work in the 2.4.

Now the qgis release every 3-4 month.
These mean that a public administration should plan to refund all thei
product on qgis every 3-4 months ?

I guess this is an example clear of what mena affordable and reliability.

I guess no one public administration could fund an incompatible piece of
software to became compatible when there is other solution availables and
compatibles.

Returning to the incompatible qustion:

Who put the GetPrint tags in the getcapabilities response ?

It was the only to have a direct and immediate advantage. I dont know why
do this, but can expected that it sell its product to someone.

I say :
ok you have your advantage, you have take your money, and now ?
You have destroyed the credibility of qgis as an WMS Server OGC.
You choose to eat the egg today instead of take the chicken tomorrow, and
now ?
Are you happy of this ?

I guess who break repair.
So I guess the solution should be put and fund by who involontary or
volontary (i don't know) break the WMS specs compatibility.

Or otherwise the qgis group say:

we don't care about the wms compatibility so choose other software for this
work.

But I guess there many service seller that go around to sell service on
qgis and say that it is a server wms compiant with WMS specs.

It is a really bad
ok qgis is not usable for an OGC WMS infrastructure.

If instead it is not happy of this it should repair what has break .

I guess an public administration should not fund this reparation, otherwise
every commite could think to have no proble to do what it like to do and
after ask to the PA to fund for the repair from its break commit.

[Qgis-user] About QGIS on Windows - a follow up.

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
I am somewhat puzzled by a remark by Mr Paolo Cavallini in another thread.
The poster there had experienced serious difficulties when updating his
QGIS.

His main mistake seems to be that he was running Windows, and Paolo wrote:
*Please also remember that Windows packaging involves a tremendous amount
of effort and skills, and it is being done as a favour for our Windows
users.

It would be good if someone could pay a developer to work on Windows
(but also OSX, etc.) packaging.
*
I'd like to comment on this.
Globally, according to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp,
some 84 % run Windows flavors, and 5 % are Linux users.
Surely those numbers merit a little more than a 'favour' for Windows
users?

According to the QGIS download page, there are several Linux flavors of
QGIS available, compared to 1 Windows version (in two packages).
Is Linux packaging so easy that 10+ versions can be maintained without any
effort?

And last, who is paying for all the Linux oriented development and
packaging going on, and do you keep funds separate for Linux and Windows
work?

I realize that I will be flamed for this, but as I am very fond of Open
Source and QGIS, I am saddened by the disregard for the majority of
computer users, many of whom do not even have the option to choose their
operating system.

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] On format and coordinate systems transformation

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Group!

I will begin this post with a disclaimer. This is no advertisement, or
endorsed statement. I intend it as friendly advice to fellow professionals,
for the good of the industry and our reputation.


Many posts on this list come from users who struggle to move geodata
between software systems or projections and coordinate systems. Several
times a week or even per day, more or less tricky conversion problems are
aired. This is a good thing. It shows that more people are using more
geodata, and wants to combine data from various sources. This is one
important purpose of a GIS.


However, format conversion and coordinate transformation can be tricky
business. If performed improperly, or with inadequate tools, mistakes can
result in loss of information, or distorted or misplaced features. Such
errors may be apparent, but can also go unnoticed, and later reflect badly
on the person or institution that supplied the data.

While I appreciate that all data handling tips on this list are given in
good faith, I have seen those that are outright wrong, difficult or even
dangerous, and not in line with what I judge to be Good Practice of our
trade.


 There is really only one professional and system independent tool for all
kinds of spatial data conversion, and that is FME from Safe Software. I
would recommend no other. Only FME can safely handle the multitude of
coordinate systems and the ever-evolving types and versions of file
formats. Add to that the ability to extract, validate and combine data from
different sources into a single workflow. The Workbench, where you
graphically build your workflow is one of the best GUI:s I know.  You can
build very complicated workflows and save them for later use. For recurring
conversion tasks, this ensures that each data transfer is performed exactly
like before.  Workbench files can be built by FME and GIS pros, and
distributed for the use of others who just needs a task done.


Quality does not come cheap, and I realize that the cost of FME can seem
prohibitive. However, if you take into account the time and effort that
people must use to try to tweak this tool here, or find that script there,
with perhaps unpredictable results; you may find that the money for an FME
license is well spent. On the other hand, consider the risk that lost or
distorted information leads to costly damage further on in the chain.

Whenever I attend a seminar or conference on GIS/GIT/mapping and surveying,
people mention FME as an everyday tool:  “Oh, and then we of course have
some FME scripts to process the data.”

The support from Safe Software is excellent. They depend on that their
tools can be used, so problems and suggestions for improvement are dealt
with promptly and kindly. There is always a fresh beta build available to
try out the latest fixes or additions.

Visit www.safe.com to find out more, and note that any flavor of FME
Desktop can be downloaded for a free 14 day trial.


Best Regards, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] Closure of forum

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
Simply find Google Groups and look there for QGISGRASS.
Then apply for membership.
At the moment, only members can view topics.
Personally, I'm in favor of open groups, but this is at the managers
discretion.
Making the group free to read, but with restricted posting is a good
alternative.

Google Groups works very well for the MapInfo forum, MapInfo-L, and the FME
forum FME Talk. I am a member of both.
Every participant can choose how to take part in the forum, from receiving
every post as e-mail, abridged daily summaries, or only reading it on the
web.

Re: [Qgis-user] Closure of forum

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
According to qgis.org, there are ten (10) current mailing lists for Qgis.
If there is a need to fragment the communication that much, maybe a
traditional forum with subgroups would be a better idea than my proposal
for a Google group. I feel mailing lists are outdated.
There are a lot of forum services to choose from.

[Qgis-user] MapInfo tab files?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!
On the MapInfo list, someone wanted to know why map styles in a MapInfo tab
file does not show in Qgis.
The answer was that the Qgis reader does not support it.
This is a pity since one of the tab file advantages is the ability to store
map styles.
I would like to know if this is a deliberate decision by the Qgis
developer, or if the libraries that Qgis uses are the problem.

Re: [Qgis-user] Can't get printed or plotted output

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Geologist!
I think this is a memory problem, because of the size of your output. Can you 
print the exact same contents at the same size in on the same computer using 
ArcGis?
If so, check the resolution settings. The chance is that qgis defaults to 600 
dpi while 150 dpi might work. The difference is hardly visible on the hard 
copy.

Re: [Qgis-user] IR-airphoto and 3D

[Mats Elfström]

Hi all!

I agree, this software effort seems interesting enough to take a closer look
at. However, I notice that the material on the website is not updated since
2008. I wonder why?
Anyway, as an experienced photogrammetrist, I know that you need more than
two random shots with sparse geometric info to create an oriented
stereomodel. You mention corner coordinates. Do you have the ground
elevation for these as well? Do you know the lens data? Ground control
points?
OK I know that you can compute a semblance of a 3D model from a  number of
random shots, but that will only be valid in it's own context without ground
control.
See if you can drape the images on the Google Earth surface? That may give
you an idea of the topography if your area is not too small.
I would suggest you follow the advice to obtain a ready made surface to
drape your image on.

Regards, Mats.E

2010/4/27 Ulf Almroth ulf.almr...@lillabjoern.se

 Johan,
 What you need is a photogrammetric package. I only know one open source
 package. Look at http://www.efoto.eng.uerj.br/en:start and download the
 latest version. It has all you need to accomplish your task, includning a
 modul for DEM (digital elevation model) extraction from the stereo pair. Yoy
 dont need dual screens, fancy cards and polaroid glasses. A split screen or
 re/blue glasses like som childrens books had when I was a kid will do. Note:
 I found this package recentlly and had no time to test it, but I am going
 to. There used to be another free package,  photomodeler, but i don't think
 it is free anymore and anyway it is phocused on terrestrial and not on
 aerial images.

  I have very little knowlight of terminology in this area.

 Is there a possibility if you have 2 semi-overlapping IR-photo, with
 known flight-altitude, distance between picture, camera-model and
 pictures corners coordinat, to make a 3D model with height-data?

 To use 2 pictures to get stereo-vision, requere quite special
 dual-screens and gfx-card and polaroid-glasses, so to skip this, are
 there some other software that can pick altitude for every pixel in
 the area  there 2 IR-photo cover?.

 If not QGIS have this, is there any other open source-applications to
 use, for instance GRASS that manage this, and what is the name of the
 process to make a 3D-map from at leaste 2 airphoto in GIS-terminology?

I would expect Mr Coats to explain himself.

 Hi all.
 As many of you know, our bug fixing initiative is very successful: with
 very limited
 investments several users have been able to have their bugs fixed in a very
 short
 time. Of course, the entire project is based on hard work, volunteering,
 goodwill,
 and trust. This generally works very well.
 Unfortunately I have to point out an unpleasant experience: one user (Greg
 Coats)
 requested a bug fix, relative to a slow start up, and on date 21.1.2010
 offered:
 I will provide $1,000.00 for a verifiably solution that yields start up
 times from
 .qgs project files of no more than 30 seconds, delivered this month, and
 $500.00 for
 a solution delivered next month.
 The bug was promptly fixed the next day, thanks to Marco Hugentobler and
 others. The
 Greg asked an OSX executable to check the solution. Next day, this was
 ready, thanks
 to William Kyngesburye.
 Now Greg is surprisingly refusing to donate the promised amount. I believe
 this is
 unfair, and breaks the trust we are so rich of. In addition, he is
 complaining about
 the project management, which is even harder to understand.
 So, I'll have to be more careful with the next offers :(
 BTW: I invite everybody to donate for our upcoming hackfest:
 http://www.qgis.org/wiki/3._QGIS_Hackfest_in_Pisa_2010
 Even small amounts (buy your preferred dev a beer, a pizza, etc!) are
 useful, and
 much appreciated.
 All the best.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS1.3.0 Mimas With GRASS - Windows Installer

[Mats Elfström]

Hi Kumaran!

hank you very much!
Very well done and much appeciated.
I just tested your installation, it ran without any problem at all.
After a quick run-through, everything you would need seems to be in place.
Even the Python plug-in manager works perfectly.

After the heated debate last week, I was going to make a step-by step test
and evaluation of the other QGis Windows distros, but now I don't have to.

Thank you once again Kumaran.

Regards, Mats.E

  Dear Members,



 There were quite a few requests for QGIS1.3.0 Mimas With GRASS - Windows
 standalone Installer. Users can download the standalone windows setup file
 from our website.

[Qgis-user] What is the matter with QGis versus MS Windows?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi! (this is a bit OT rant)

What it the matter with Qgis versus MS Windows?
According to w3schools, the windows family operating systems account for 90%
of all users world wide.
There is nothing to indicate that GIS people should differ from this
pattern.
Open source should not be platform dependent but I still claim that QGis is.
There are dozens of Mac and Linux versions with funny names but only two
Windows versions that apparently never works satisfactorily.
I have all but given up recommending QGis for Windows systems.

For those of you who like me belong to the unimaginative majority of windows
users, take a look at MapWindow Open Source GIS
http://www.mapwindow.org/
which installs and runs flawlessly on 90% of the worlds computers.

Cheers, Mats.E

Re: [Qgis-user] What is the matter with QGis versus MS Windows?

[Mats Elfström]

Ok I'll take it all back the minute somebody writes to this list and reports
a flawless, standalone QGis installation on any Windows system with all
GRASS and Gdal dependencies working from the start.

Don't you realize that many users never get to choose OS?
Or needs to cooperate in environments where there is no choice?

And I am really insulted by the accusation that I as a Windows user,
automatically is regarded as an incompetent user with no care or concern
about my system. I've worked with computers since 1984 and I have learned to
take care of most problems. And I have invested lots of time and love and
money doing that.
I am using ESRI products. I am using MapInfo products. I am using FME. I am
using MicroStation. And I am using Windows. I would like to confidently add
QGis to my toolbox too, but resent being looked down upon. You seem to
regard Windows as something the dog dragged in, writing 'people fiddling
around with a Windows build' and so on.

See if you can find it in your heart to indulge with us ordinary people who
*has* to use Windows but still likes GIS and Open Source. I think the QGis
user community would grow and profit from that, and open source efforts must
behave like other software to gain acceptance.
I will not debate this further.

 Hi all!

 Usually I just don't answer to such emails but in this case I completely
 agree with Paolo. Moreover I'd like to say that nobody is forced to use
 Linux. Just use the operating system you think that is best for you.

 And as paolo said it seems that you're a user that don't want to invest
 something (time, money, love). So what? - if you use Windows - you
 obviously have enough money to buy it - so what about using GIS Software
 written just for Windows? (ESRI?)

 It is indeed just easier to compile and write open software with and
 under open software (sic!)

 I for my person can just say a big thank you to all the people fiddling
 around with a Windows build .. and releasing QGIS also for Windows.
 (brings me to the question why MapWindow is Windows only)

 I like the viewpoint of not asking which program is running best on my
 OS rather then which OS is working best with the program i like to use.

 Complaining about things others created is the easiest way to go.. Come
 on join us - and bring your experience with windows to QGIS. I know
 thats the harder way -  but much more people would benefit from this way
 then from a complaining mail (wheres the bugreport?) and not
 recommending QGIS for Windows systems.

 But I still hope that you give QGIS a try from time to time when windows
 support is improved..

 regards
 Werner

  Hi Mats.
  I think you are wrong: I do not use windows myself, but I am running a
 looong series
  of very successful courses, most of them on windows, and I always report
 all the
  problems encountered (see trac issues), which are very occasionally
 different on
  windows systems because of specific idiosyncrasies. The same can be said
 of OSX systems.
  What is true is that many (but not all, fortunately) windows users
 pretend a system
  that just works, without bothering to invest anything (time, money, love)
 on it. This
  is not how free software works. If you are using a piece of software, and
 you find a
  problem, you have the choice of fixing it yourself, or pay someone to fix
 it. Of
  course, you can always complain about it and/or stop using the program,
 it's your
  choice, but IMHO this is not the best option.
  All the best.

[Qgis-user] Why no proper QGis Windows installer yet?

[Mats Elfström]

Hi List!

I take the liberty to start a new thread on this subject. I am currently
having serious trouble using QGis because of the poor Windows support.
I was happily using the second preview when I decided to upgrade to Kore.
Then the trouble began.
As described on the QGis forum, the so-called installer leaves out important
components in the Express installation, and renders an unusable system if an
Advanced installation is attempted.
Why is this so? Open Source should not be restricted to non-windows
operating systems. I think that's unfair, because many users are not at
liberty to choose their operating system.
The front page of the QGis.org site labels QGis *a user friendly Open Source
Geographic Information System*.
That is not true, if installing the program on Windows requires a manual
assembly of bits and pieces from all over, tweaks here and there, with still
no guarantee of a stable and functioning system.
Would anybody care to explain what's going on, and if any improvement is in
sight?

Regards, Mats.E

[Qgis-user] Re: Save

[Mats Elfström]

I'd like to reiterate the question below.

2009/3/16 Mats Elfström mats.elfst...@gmail.com

 Hi All!

 In the QGis 1.0 help, under section 9.1.4 it says:
 *To save the composer canvas as a templates, click on the button. Browse
 to the directory you like
 and save a template to use it again for another map canvas.*

 This is exactly what I need to do but cannot find 'the button'. Apparently
 the save and open buttons are missing from my Print Composer interface.
 QGis is recently installed with the OSGEO4W installer and reads QGis 1.0.1
 - Kore.

 Any tips are most appreciated.

[Qgis-user] Select by attributes

[Mats Elfström]

Hi!

What would be the simplest way to select elements by their geometric
attributes in QGIS?

In MapInfo, the SQL select string I need would look like this:

select * from TableName where Area(obj, sq km)  .5

As a workaround, I could populate an 'area' column in the table, but I would
still need an Area() function to do that.

Please do not suggest compiling this and that library from hist and here
because this is a question from a vanilla QGIS user.
Other than that, any help is appreciated.
