History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 15 years ago

this is probably related to #2203.

If fix for #2203 works (please test it, so we can eventually close the ticket) the probably the same fix can apply here.

#2 Updated by Maxim Dubinin over 14 years ago

no, this tool still doesn't work.
There is no error message now, but progress bar is endlessly running.

#4 Updated by gjm - over 14 years ago

I can reproduce this problem if I don't select shapefile in the file selection dialog. If I do select shapefile, my test file converts and loads fine.

I'll have a look at making that need more obvious, and perhaps a little more automatic.

#5 Updated by Alexander Bruy almost 14 years ago

Tested with 5aed037f (SVN r15016) under Linux and all works fine. But on Windows with same revision and same data I get error

The layer D:/test.gpx?type=waypoint is not a valid layer and can not be added to map

If try to import any vector data into GPX QGIS throws an error. For example:

Could not import data from C:/personal/next/histmonumreg.geojson!

Input type 'copilot' not recognized

You can only use the file types listed in the selection dialog - and it's important to choose the one that matches your selected file. Seems you left the file type at 'copilot'.

But gpsbabel (or just the plugin) doesn't support GeoJSON anyway.

Just tried to import shapefile with GPS Tools. Other files tab, select point shapefile and Shapefile (*.*) from file type combo. After clicking Ok button I get error message

Could not import data from F:/samples/shape/poi-osm.shp!

Input type 'shape' not recognized

Windows XP, . In Linux with same revision and same test data all works fine

your gpsbabel probably doesn't support shape.
