Bug report #15680

Clipping of raster with GDAL may hang QGIS

Added by Paolo Cavallini over 7 years ago. Updated over 6 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:High
Assignee:Victor Olaya
Category:Processing/GDAL
Affected QGIS version:2.18.4 Regression?:No
Operating System: Easy fix?:No
Pull Request or Patch supplied:No Resolution:fixed/implemented
Crashes QGIS or corrupts data:Yes Copied to github as #:23603

Description

  • load a 4326 raster
  • reproject in 3857
  • clip by selecting an extewnt on the canvas with either GDALTools or with Processing > GDAL
  • the process ahnges forever, because the wrong coordinates are passed

Note: GDALTools can be interrupted, Processing not, so killing QGIS is the only way to stop the hung operation.

The expected behaviour is that the coordinates are reprojected in the CRS of the raster before passing them to gdal_translate

History

#1 Updated by Victor Olaya over 7 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to In Progress

The issue I see here is that the extent parameter has no CRS

We can make the assumption that it's in the Project CRS. That should be shown to the user in the parameters dialog, and all extents added automatically (from canvas, from layers, etc), should be converted.

Then, when the algorithm is called, it should be reprojected in the algorithm CRS

What do you think of this? I cannot think of a clearer solution now

For 3.0, we can change the parameter value, so it contains a CRS as well, but that would be an api break, so not for 2.16
