<ul></ul><p><ins>1 for the feature request. <br />that means dropping ogr csv support and use only csv delimiter c</ins>+ provider.. and that would remove a bad redondancy in QGIS providers. <br />ogr csv support is too limited compared to plugin's one.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #10024: Drag and Drop CSV filehttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/10024?journal_id=767452017-04-30T22:47:59ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>I really think that the correct behavior is the actual one: d&d you gets a geometryless table, using the delimited text provider button you get a spatial table.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #10024: Drag and Drop CSV filehttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/10024?journal_id=888282018-03-19T17:09:03ZAntonio Locandroantonio.locandro@cocesna.org
<ul></ul><p>I see why this would be good, I think we can close then this</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #10024: Drag and Drop CSV filehttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/10024?journal_id=892762018-04-17T15:51:57ZAndy Harfoot
<ul></ul><p>From <a class="external" href="http://www.gdal.org/drv_csv.html">http://www.gdal.org/drv_csv.html</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Starting with GDAL 2.1, it is possible to directly specify the potential names of the columns that can contain X/longitude and Y/latitude with the X_POSSIBLE_NAMES and Y_POSSIBLE_NAMES open option."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These could be hard coded into the QGIS OGR CSV load function, or set via a preference, meaning that for CSVs containing appropriately named spatial columns, the geometry would be read automatically on drag and drop.</p>
<p>Alternatively, a context menu command could be added for text files 'Open as spatial delimited text', routing the load via the dialog.</p>
<p>I would like to keep this request open - the current behaviour of CSV drag and drop lags behind that of other formats</p>
