Description

Plugins -> GPS -> GPS tools -> load waypoint GPX file -> fTools -> Geometry tools -> Export/add geometry column -> Choose GPX waypoint layer -> Choose any output name -> OK -> Open attribute table: only YCOORD is present, XCOORD is missing.

Saving GPX as shapefile and then running fTools add geometry column works just fine for WGS84 and projected files.

QGIS 1.4.0 and trunk r13529
fTools 0.5.10

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 14 years ago

Hi,

I noticed that if you open the GPX file trough the standard "add vector" interface things are pretty different: the attribute table is different and the "Export/add geometry column" works fine. So it should not be a ftools problem after all, but a problem of QGIS GPS tools toolbox.

#2 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 14 years ago

this should not be a ftools problem. Please leave further feedback and change the summary if you confirm my observations.

#3 Updated by Horst Düster over 13 years ago

I found the same behaviour with PostGIS layers as well. The bug depends on the position of the geometry column in the column-list.

With the following POINT table-definition, geometry column at the beginning of the columns list:

CREATE TABLE test1
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  wkb_geometry geometry,
  feld1 text,
  feld2 text,
  feld3 integer,
  CONSTRAINT test1_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

only the YCOORD column will be exported.

With the following POINT table-definition, with geometry at the end of the columns list:

CREATE TABLE test1
(
  id serial NOT NULL,
  feld1 text,
  feld2 text,
  feld3 integer,
  wkb_geometry geometry
  CONSTRAINT test1_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

all columns XCOORD and YCOORD will be exported fine.

Hi, I just tested with a PostGIS point table like

CREATE TABLE topo_c
(
gid serial NOT NULL,
"DESIGNACAO" character varying(28),
"CODNUTS" character varying(12),
"DTCC" integer,
"DT" integer,
"DISTRITO" character varying(25),
"AGRUPC" character varying(25),
"NUTSII" character varying(4),
"NUSTIII" character varying(5),
"REGIAO" character varying(30),
"INC" integer,
"POP" integer,
pop10 integer,
the_geom geometry
)

and it worked fine (with both ftools and the field calculator). I'm using qgis-trunk under Ubuntu. Please check again and leave feedback.

You are right, if the geometry column is not at the end of the table, then FTOOLS just compute the YCOORD field. On the other hand computing the coordinates with the field calculator works ok. So after all it may be very well a Ftools issue (or not, maybe is a GEOS one. Carson, can you leave feedback?).

I'll remove the "must fix: yes" because we can use the field calculator instead as workaround.

Anyone can confirms?

In my case with sample data of the comment n.3, both columns (XCOORD and YCOORD) are not esported!

I still can confirm the behaviour described in #2733-3. now I will test with gpx files.

and I confirm also the behaviour described in the original ticket description and #2733-1

#11 Updated by Salvatore Larosa almost 12 years ago

Right now, the problems are two:
ext/add geometry tool does not work:

1) with data from database (not sure for Spatialite)
2) if the position of the field geometry is intermediate to the other, not at the end of the list.

In fact, dataProvider().fields().keys() returns [0, 2, 3] if the table is defined as follows:

CREATE TABLE test (
id serial NOT NULL < ----------------- 0
geom geometry <----------------------- 1
name text <--------------------------- 2
descr text <-------------------------- 3
CONSTRAINT test_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

skipping a key, geom one!

well, I succeeded in solving this and I'll do a pull request after doing some more tests!
XCOORD and YCOORD work fine, I still have to test for linear and polygonal geometries!

Can anyone send me a GPX data to test it?

"... I forgot a thing very curious ....
extract/add geometry tool works even if the attribute table is open! (ref. #5335)"

1) with data from database (not sure for Spatialite)

it works
