When I export a map to a jpeg or tiff using the composer and I've checked 'Save world file' the world file does not appear. (The jpg or tiff does.)

History

#1 Updated by Klas Karlsson almost 8 years ago

It works for me (on other OS), but I noted that the "Reference Map" selector under "Export Settings" was blank when I first activated the "Save world file" option.

Can you verify that this selector has the correct map selected as reference and that it still doesn't work.

#2 Updated by Steven Veen almost 8 years ago

When I open the same project in Qgis 2.14.4 everything goes fine.

#3 Updated by Donovan Cameron over 7 years ago

I've noticed the World File isn't generated on either Windows 8.1 (via OSGeo4W installer) or Arch Linux.

The Reference Map is selected, wasn't blank but set to Map 0.

#4 Updated by salvatore fiandaca over 7 years ago

Win 10 64-bit and OSGeo4w works well, you must select the 'reference map'!!!

#5 Updated by Novarese   over 7 years ago

Under Win7_64 it works as well, but you have to flag "Print as raster" too.
The option "Save world file" seems useless, because the exported TIFF is a full Geotiff.

#6 Updated by Jukka Rahkonen over 7 years ago

There are programs which can't read the GeoTIFF tags so Save world file option is not useless.

#7 Updated by John Tull over 7 years ago

The same is true on OS X with 2.16.2, i.e., no world file is being generated on export with the setting correctly applied in the composer export options.
