I agree that we shouldn't ship broken things like this.

Just a sidenote, I'm always very careful when reading "from a user
perspective" as an argument in a discussion.
I'm still looking for "the user" and the person who knows "the users
perspective" and couldn't find those two yet ;)

All the best
Matthias

From a user and software quality perspective, I think that we should not
ship a severely broken plugin as core plugin while the working Quick OSM
plugin has to be installed separately. (Even if one is lacking a specific
feature over the other.) 

Make the broken OSM importer optional.

Best wishes,
Anita

FYI, QuickOSM is not creating the "other_tags". There is a special parser
in the plugin to create individual fields.

Unless we have a feature parity with the current openstreetmap tool
(offered through vector -> openstreetmap), please do not drop it. One
useful feature that isn't available through OGR (or QuickOSM last time I
trieD) is the exporting of individual tags as fields (versus only creating
a few fields and an "other_tags" field).

[Qgis-developer] Deprecation of the Vector - OpenStreetMap - Importer

2016-09-19 Thread Andre Joost
 

Dear all,


This topic pops up regularly on the mailing lists, but nothing happened lately.
The OS import tool is still not able to load features with node numbers exceeding the 32bit-unsigned limit, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/64-bit_Identifiers . As a consequence, features get lost, or lines and polygons don't get imported at all, as soon as recently added nodes are involved. This makes the importer quite useless.


Following the discussion here at http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Suggestion-Remove-Vector-Openstreetmap-tool-from-QGIS-2-12-td5226614.html and on GIS SE http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/211000/is-there-a-qgis-tool-that-handles-osm-64-bit-identifiers-correctly I suggest to drop the 3-part importer from the Vector menu.  Add vector layer and the QuickOSM plugin can import OSM data without the 32-bit limitation.


It would be good to drop the item in the upcoming QGIS 2.18.


Alternatively, somebody would have to change the data type for osm_id in the spatialite export (part 2 of the 3-part-importer) from integer to long integer or text.
