Re: [Qgis-developer] Re: forum.qgis.org
Folks, with all due respect, it cannot fit in my head HOW can you shut down a mean of communication that was used for 5000 people and continues to be used. Don't mention spam, slowness, login pecularities, hosting - these are all minor technical issues, fixable. How can you divert all these people to SE which has stunning 131 topics tagged with QGIS? Compare it with 3767 topics on the forum. If you think SE is much better - ok, let it outrun forum, so that the latter will die out gradually.

Migrating forum and wiki would reduce logins by one or two (depending whether the user has an OpenID login). According to the docs, Joomla also supports LDAP logins (http://docs.joomla.org/LDAP), so OSGEO logins could used there, too. Anything simpler is better.

[Qgis-developer] Print Composer crashing
Hi all, I'm not sure if this is related to the Print Composer problems being discussed on the user list. Thus far I haven't had the white stripe. I've been having problems where the Print Composer either a) causes QGIS to crash out-right, or b) appears to hang then gives a dialogue saying bad allocation, which then breaks that composer session, and usually crashes QGIS shortly afterwards. To replicate, I provide a small .zip file http://www.members.westnet.com.au/ramon_et_al/PrintComposerError.zip 1. Unzip, and open the project. 2. Using the print manager, open one of the compsers. 3. Export to image. If the geology (filled polygon) layer is in the composer, the the composer will not complete. I'm having similar problems with printing directly to printer, and to PDF. I've tried this project out on: Win7 64-bit using standalone 1.7 install Win7 64-bit using osgeo 1.7 install (there are debug files from this system provided) Win7 64-bit using osgeo 1.8 install WinXP 32-bit using standalone 1.7 install I'm fairly sure that its related to something specific in certain vector files. For instance the polygon file provided is an excerpt of one that is giving me problems. Would it be possible for someone to confirm that I'm not hallucinating? If there is a problem, is it likely to be that there is something about that file that causes problems? If so, does anyone have any suggestions? I've pointed the f-tools geometry validation tool at it and nothing came up. -ramon.___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Re: [Qgis-developer] plugins/providers are not libraries
Hi William I'm not too deep into the topic (but I remember I had to change the wfs provider and plugin years ago to avoid direct linking from plugin to provider because of the plugin/library difference on OS X ). Has there been any change in the GRASS related code such that a direct link is necessary? I thought there wasn't any development activity in the GRASS provider and plugin.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Print Composer crashing
Hi Joze, I'm presuming you wanted this back on the list. Firstly, I can get this without using ECW or large page sizes or high resolutions. Secondly, you've got two different problems there. Large page sizes is a known bug - http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3687 And ECW support for ubuntu was described quite nicely just a few days back on the user list: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2011-July/012732.html additionally, try here: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW Hope some of that's a help. -ramon.
