The Featured plugin list has one plugin that does not have a QGIS 3
version. In my opinion if there is not a QGIS 3 version it should not be
featured. "Layer Board" is a QGIS 2 only plugin. You might want to consider
removing it.

All the best.

I think that, up to now, most of the people that reply are the same that
often discuss in the dev list, that contribute to the software development.
Not really the opinion of the "user base" and I think that it's still good
to hear their voices: As a lambda user, what are the plugins you would
recommend to others if they want to do things that QGIS does not natively
do? This is how I'd define "featured plugins". So for me, yes, asking more
feedbacks for the base is still of interest.

About the noise of mispelled names, I don't know how (no further discussion
has been held yet) but maybe we can provide a drop-down list based on
plugin names in our database?

Re: [Qgis-user] Featured plugins: nominations

[DelazJ]

Hi,

Given that tags are, if i'm not wrong, declared by authors, the number of
tags to filter the plugins may be enormous (though it's already possible to
filter by tag clicking one in the cloud).

Having main groups to categorize plugins sounds a good idea. I think the
"easiest" would be to:
- set some "authoritative" categories
- have a new entry in metadata and each plugin author will set the
appropriate class(es) in his plugin

All that said, the plugin website infrastructure relies mainly on the
effort of two persons so if improvements are to be done, I'm pretty sure
that they will happily welcome anyone willing to help to structure and
implement them.

Harrissou

The number of plugins is fast reaching the point where this is necessary.

Or make the existing tag system more visible when searching ie an 
explicit filter by tag option?

Because locator filters are supposed to be separate blocks, and because
I'm not interested in Google or Swiss geocoders, and all have a special
way to handle stuff.
I created a Locator (please try it out) for Nominatim and for our
National Geocoder service. As that is where my knowledge and interests
are. Denis did one for the Swiss Geocoder and others probably for their
ones.
I think in case of Locators it is better to not pile all on one heap :-)

Richard

unsure about this - the discussion has been interesting, and led to
improvements. A wider base could reveal other gems, but could also add
considerable noise (especially if we allow free entries, as many plugins

* serval for raster editing
* QuickOSM, just awesome
* Visibility analysis

there are other similar plugins: I'd be careful about preferring one;

FYI - this is also visible in the browser panel, if you toggle on the
"i" properties display panel. In 3.6 you can also "expand" out
projects in the browser, to see their layers and structure directly
from inside browser (including metadata and layer previews when the
properties panel is opened)

There's the "Processing R Provider" plugin, which allows use of R
scripts as Processing algorithms and makes them callable from the
Processing toolbox.

I understand that refFunctions addresses a very important feature gap
in QGIS, but unfortunately the way it is implemented is very fragile
and inefficient (e.g. access the map canvas directly from expressions
is not thread safe, and causes crashes. Also the functions need to be
updated to take advantage of efficiencies in the recent QGIS API --
e.g. the touches function loops through *every* feature in the layer
the layer and tests each individually for touching. This should
instead only fetch features from the source geometry + a small
buffer.). So I wouldn't feel comfortable highlighting this plugin
unless these dangerous code paths are addressed.

I'd love to see someone write up the feature gap between core QGIS and
refFunctions, and let's start to discuss how we can implement
efficient, thread safe versions of these functions in core itself

Yes! If I recall correctly, it's tagged as experimental only because
it's directed to a small subset of users (those who write plugins),
and it was a way to "hide" it from the main plugin list for "normal"
users.

This is implemented in core itself, no need for a plugin anymore

Doesn't the locator widget and it's various plugins meet the need
previously addressed by this plugin?

Re: [Qgis-user] Featured plugins: nominations

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi all,
after a few training sessions, here are the plugins I end up recommanding
each time for QGIS as a corporation shared tool, where the most common and
basic use case is: "pick layers, find a location, create a mask on the
area, print and go do your job"

- Menu from project :
*https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/menu_from_project/
 *

Simply the best tool I know to create a serie of layer shortcuts, with only
the burden of maintaining classical project files. It also offers a chance
to display metadatas and use restriction before picking layers in QGIS. If
I had the money, I would port this to C++ and let it work as a menu, or a
searchable dock, or via the browser dock

- Mask plugin : https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/mask/

create simple masks that can filter labels not inside the masked area.
Working with Atlas too. Same thing, it should be a core feature. Making it
play with locator bar for place search use case would be nice. In QGIS 2,
it used to play with OSM place search plugin and allowed to create a mask
from a place search outputing a polygon.

- Memory Layer Saver. Can't live without (well trying to thanks to
auxiliary data now)

- QGIS2ThreeJS. No comment. Just awesome

Re: [Qgis-user] Featured plugins: nominations

[C Hamilton]

I agree with Harrissou that if the plugins are not available in QGIS 3 then
they shouldn't be on the Featured list. The plugins I use the most are:

Lat Lon Tools  I might be a
little biased here but it has the best coordinate snapshot and zoom to
capabilities, a number of conversion utilities, and digitizing points using
text strings in a number of formats.
Shape Tools  is also equally
used for its geodesic shape creation, geodesic digitizing functions,
geodesic measurements, as well as a number of other tools.
Plugin Reloader  I will
second this one as it is essential for plugin development although its user
base is developers which is a subset of QGIS users.
Profile Tool  I use this one
fairly often although I wish its graphics display looked better.
QuickMapServices  This
is very useful for quickly adding a base layer.
Memory Layer Saver  It
is nice to know that those temporary layers will still be there after a
QGIS project is saved and reloaded.
Freehand raster georeferencer
 This one has
been quite useful to me this past year as I was trying to georeference some
old maps. This has a smaller user base as it is a more focused tool so I
don't know where you draw the line on what should be featured or not.

In my opinion the featured plugins should be a combination of really useful
plugins and newer plugins that people don't really know about, but have a
lot of potential. Personally I would avoid plugins that are interfaces to
commercial services - not because they are not important, but simply
because I would prefer highlighting open source services and plugins. I
would probably avoid plugins that are specific to a certain country.

Is there a good plugin to interface with "R"? I personally haven't used R,
but know a lot of people that do? If there is a good plugin that works well
it might be a candidate.

Those are my thoughts. If I get some time to look at some of the newer
plugins then I might add to this.

Best wishes,

Calvin

This makes sense to me. Anyone objects?

This is true for other ported plugins too. I try to convince authors not
to duplicate, but to add a new version to the existing repo. Obviously
this is less effective for the authors with commit rights.

All the best.

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for raising this.
I remember a previous discussion about what a "featured plugin" is and
ended up that it's somehow subjective.
So here are my subjective (but not complete as some are already mentioned)
list of plugins that really help me in my daily work:
- RefFunctions : It has
some spatial functions that really help to link features from different
layers, in a different and imho simpler logic than default relations
functions.
- Plugin Reloader : A
must-have for anyone that is trying to create his own plugin, great
complement for the Plugin Builder. I don't understand why it's still tagged
"experimental".
- and probably more subjective as it's mine: MapsPrinter
: allow to export multiple
print layouts in few clicks (without opening any). Currently you have to
open each print layout before you export it.

I can also see that in the current featured list some plugins are not
available in QGIS 3: itemBrowser, Copy canvas to clipboard, Layer board,
QuickFinder, ScriptRunner. I guess some functions are natively covered in
v3. Wonder if, with 3.4LTR, we should not put focus on 3.x compatible
plugins and remove these ones?
Another thing is that the Plugin Builder is named Plugin Builder 3 in QGIS
3. I'm not sure this is consistent.
