Description

It's currently not possible to use memory layers in OGR tools. The error is

Memory layers shouldn't be listed in the input layers if they cannot be used.

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 8 years ago

  • Target version deleted (Future Release - Lower Priority)
  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

This is part of a larger missing feature in Processing, see #11616

#2 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 8 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Resolution set to duplicate

duplicate of #11616

#3 Updated by gcarrillo - over 7 years ago

  • Target version set to Version 2.18
  • Status changed from Closed to Reopened
  • Resolution deleted (duplicate)

While #11616 could enhance Processing as a whole, this issue (#14430) can be addressed separately.
That is, for GDAL/OGR Processing algorithms to work with memory layers, we don't need #11616.

I'm reopening this issue because I'm about to propose a fix.
