Bug report #20094

Extracting z-coordinates takes ages and makes the system unresponsive

Added by Karl Kastner about 6 years ago. Updated about 6 years ago.

Status:Closed
Priority:High
Assignee:Alessandro Pasotti
Category:Geometry
Affected QGIS version:3.3(master) Regression?:No

Description

qgis displays the sand-dial forever and other applications become unresponsive when z-coordinates are extracted.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add vector layer segments.shp
2. Open attribute table
3. Open field calculator
4. output field name -> z
5. Expression -> z(start_point($geometry))
6. ok

Expected behaviour:

z values of start points should be added to the attribute table in a reasonable amount of time, say no longer than 30s for the example file of about 26MB. At least a cancel button would be nice to stop pending operations.
Example shape-file downloadable at (compressed 9Mb): https://filesender.surf.nl/?s=download&token=9cee5ba9-b49d-0b72-2c67-a993e09d6869

#7 Updated by Karl Kastner about 6 years ago

It works with qgis 3.3.0-Master in Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic Cuttlefish, the attribute editor opens somewhat slower than in qgis 2.8, but this is not really an issue
