Re: [Qgis-developer] sextante: missing GRASS pan sharpening function (i.fusion.brovey)
Paolo, nice, didn't know it was that easy to add new functions. I gave it a go, but something's wrong as the output raster isn't created. It might have to do with the fact that i.fusion.brovey doesn't seem to have a raster's output parameter. Instead, and somewhat unique to this i. function, it has an outputprefix parameter (see http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/i.fusion.brovey.html). I've tried to simply use that parameter as a placeholder for sextante's OutputRaster syntax, but it doesn't seem to work. Victor, do you know what's happening here? Here's the i.fusion.brovey.txt syntax being used (and failing ATM): i.fusion.brovey i.fusion.brovey - Brovey transform to merge multispectral and high-res panchromatic channels.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Updating core plugins
I think decoupling the release of a new Sextante version from the release of a new QGIS release is very important. QGIS Master always has bugs that preclude the users from correctly testing Sextante. When Sextante was first released as a plugin, all users had to do was to checkout the svn repository to get the latest code. It was during this period that there was the highest number of people testing Sextante. Now, there are only a few.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Updating core plugins
I didn't know about that qgis2 folder, but sounds like a good thing, and will solve the main problem that I was worried about. Once 2.0 is out, I can release new versions of SEXTANTE, and also release them when a new QGIS version is released, so people using a non-core version (a version that is not the one that comes with QGIS) can also update. It seems that you have been thinking about this already, so I guess that it will not be hard to keep a separate release schedule in case there are new features in SEXTANTE that would be good to publish without waiting for a new QGIS release. Great work Borys!

Yes, non-core plugin overrides the core one (just because of the Python path order), so the only thing you can do is to make the core SEXTANTE version higher - at least QGIS will warn about the override and suggest manual uninstall. But we use the new .qgis2 directory, so I guess we just should tell users to not copy the .qgis to .qgis2 thoughtlessly... In addition, we could prevent QGIS 2.0 from loading uncompatible plugins. The repository and the installer assume, that plugins with qgisMinimumVersion==1.x are only compatible with 1.x unless it's strictly set by an optional tag qgisMaximumVersion (= 2.0). The same behaviour could be implemented for loading plugins. - I have a few features that will not be ready for 2.0, but I would like to release them later, just releasing a new versino of SEXTATE independently.

The problem will be when you release a new version with QGIS 2.1, the updates for 2.0 will override the new version. But we can improve the override detection procedure for 2.1 (for example, the installer could uninstall the overriding version instead of only warning) Any ideas on that?

but is far from being complete and the kind of interaction that it proposes is not very productive and time-saving (it's not a critic: CAD Tools saved my life a lot of time, and I want to thank the developers and maintainers). Many times, I had to convert my vector layers to dxf and back in order to perform some complex tasks (with all kind of conversion problems, like the preservation of the attributes values, etc.). I have some experience in programming (about ten years of developement, mainly in C# with the .NET Framework, before I switched to Linux), and I would like to try (only try, without promising anything!!) to implement complete CAD tools and functions (If there isn't and analogous project already active; in that case, nevermind!).

Probably. Sorry, probably not. The problem could be that not edited layer keeps something in memory (shx - shapes index) and that is not updated (reloaded) when shx file is updated by second (edited) layer. But that should not result in crash. Simple adding of startEditing/commitChanges to provider cannot solve that. We need to update (reload) all layers using the same data source (files) after commitChanges. In fact, some formats must not be read while edited, so startEditing should disable all layers using the same file. I think that GRASS plugin is doing that. It may also happen that a file is modified by another application ...

QGIS opens layers (files) in update mode (r+) if possible (file permission + OGR driver support). It may (but also may not) be a problem also for #6448 (slow shp over network) I am currently struggling with. In general, I think that it is bad to open files always in update mode even if in most cases they are not going to be edited. Currently there are no QgsVectorDataProvider::startEditing() and commitChanges() which may also be a problem for database providers because QgsVectorLayerEditBuffer::commitChanges() calls more provider methods changing data (deleteAttributes, addAttributes, deleteFeatures, addFeatures...). The commitChanges() should do everything in one transaction IMO. My proposal is to: 1) Add QgsVectorDataProvider::startEditing() and QgsVectorDataProvider::commitChanges() 2) In OGR provider try to open layer in update mode only to get capabilities (get info if it can be modified when the provider is constructed) but then to reopen in read only mode. 3) Call QgsVectorDataProvider::startEditing() from QgsVectorLayer::startEditing() to be sure that the layer is still editable (permissions could change or it was opened by another application for editing since the layer was opened) and to reopen files in update mode (files based) or to start transaction (DB based). 4) Call QgsVectorDataProvider::commitChanges() from QgsVectorLayer::commitChanges() 4) In QgsOgrProvider::startEditing() reopen the layer in update mode 5) In QgsOgrProvider::commitChanges() reopen the layer in read only mode I am not sure if reopening of layers in OGR provider may be a performance problem, but I hope that it should not be. We don't really have to implement startEditing() and commitChanges() in all providers for 2.0, but it should be in the vector API. Radim PS: Unfortunately, according to my current knowledge, this is not full solution for #6448. ArcGis is enable to recognize the feature's type (we can see a ? instead of polylign, polygon or point). This issue has been only noticed on Windows (and with ArcMap 9.2). Someone has already seen this problem ? Is it due to QGis or Gdal ? Thanks.

[Qgis-developer] behavior of splitting feature
Hi, I am dealing with multi polygons these days, and I find very annoying to not being able to split a part into several part. First, am I right saying it's not feasible? If yes, I would like to propose to add a choice to the splitting tool: - split into several features - split into several parts (only availbale for multi-polygon/lines layers) Would you agree on this? Then, how to propose this to the user? 1. Choice dialog after drawing the split lines (propose only if layer has multi geometry) I think everybody agrees it's a bad option 2. Have two icons and two separate tools Nice to use, but not to right direction in terms of number of icons in QGIS 3. Have a drop down icon as for the selection tool. My suggestion. If drop-down is the chosen option, I would also suggest to group add part with add ring, and also delete part with delete ring. It would therefore more coherent.

Re: [Qgis-developer] behavior of splitting feature
Hi Denis, I agree - this is another improvement that should be implemented. I would opt for option 3, with the drop-down buttons, or maybe also just a modifier key. Option 1 and 2 is sub-optimal. I would also welcome your other suggestion about the drop-down for ring-manipulation. Not sure how well such drop-down buttons would work on mobile devices though. But mobile devices would need an improved UI anyway. I'd also like to see a way to modify multi-point features.

Re: [Qgis-developer] QGIS API Freeze deadline extension
Hi Tim I have created this pull request for review https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/550 It adds quite a few color ramps to the base QGis distro, which would increase distribution by about 500Kb.

Re: [Qgis-developer] behavior of splitting feature
Hi, I would propose that the editing stuff should go into QGIS core. It is cumbersome having to download plugins all the time for editing. I would also suggest to implement the CAD stuff in QGIS core. I can't see why someone does not want to have these improvements. That way the tools get more exposure to both users and developers.

If drop-down is the chosen option, I would also suggest to group add part with add ring, and also delete part with delete ring. It would therefore more coherent.

[Qgis-developer] Add class to graduated renderer replaces an existing one
Hi, In todays master, clicking Add class doesn't add a class but overwrites an existing one. For example, create a graduated renderer with 4 classes and press add class. You'll still have 4 classes but one of the original ones will be replaced. Should I file a bug?

Re: [Qgis-developer] Make QGIS interact with LibreCAD.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Is there anybody interested whether QGIS 2.0 will support non-Latin1 Shapefiles?
Hi, Thanks to all for the feedback :) I'm really not very familar with all the OGR encoding stuff. I applied my pull request [1] to allow wider testing. Many thanks to Minoru Akagi for two other patches. One of them is applied[2], the second not, because my patch covers this isue too. Your patch [3] was safer, as it just reset LDID to 0 on save, but I believe we should go on and use the encoding declaration. A big difference I see in our approaches is I set ENCODING to encoding name, while you you use LDID/0. I guess the LDID/ prefix tells OGR to use LDID instead of CPG? I think if we should use it for encodings supported by LDID, but I guess it's not worth of the additional work, unless some other important software prefers LDID over CPG. I also added Shift-JIS to the Shapefile Encoding Fixer plugin. Please let me know if any of you needs (or just knows) another important encodings. Still there are two urgent problems: - the System encoding has to be replaced with the proper value - unit tests are still missing And one longterm: - after iconv conversion tio UTF-8 the layer doesn't remember the source encoding, so it's impossible to preserve it e.g when saving from Table Manager. Maybe someone wants to take one of the remaining issues?

Re: [Qgis-developer] Possible memory leak in rendering code

In any case it will need to be reworked when moving to multi-threaded rendering... it has only a limited functionality of storing previously rendered map in each layer and reusing it in case the extent has not changed. Unfortunately the rendered image is stored directly within QgsMapLayer class - in order to work properly, the cache should be kept internally within each QgsMapRenderer instance. -1 from me -- please don't do this! I realise that it has some limitations, but render caching makes a huge difference in speed with my workflow. I frequently use layers based off complex PostGIS views which take a long time to generate. With render caching I'm able to selectively toggle layers on/off or rearrange them for comparison without having to wait for QGIS to request a new version of the view from the PostGIS server. If I switch off render caching then every change to layer visibility or ordering triggers a refresh of the view and a painful wait in QGIS. Obviously an ideal solution would be to cache the PostGIS layer locally, but until that's possible render caching helps a lot... Nyall Unfortunately, the render caching feature has never worked on OSX. It is a greyed out option in the settings because the code was never stable on this platform. If it is meant to be a program feature, it would ideally be one that is available on all platforms.
