<ul></ul><p>This is a big issue. "Projection" is merely a component of a CRS. QGIS must use proper terminology.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3918: Consider use of the term "CRS" instead of "Projection" throughout QGIShttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3918?journal_id=125422008-07-14T00:21:45ZTim Suttontim@linfiniti.com
<ul></ul><p>On second thoughts this is probably handled using the enhancement type and not a fake milestone.

<p>What's invasive about changing several strings in the user interface?</p>
<p>Moreover this is definitely not a "feature request" but a "bug report". Simply, projection!=coordinate system, while QGIS uses the term "projection" in places where actually "coordinate system" should be used.</p>
<p>Projection is only an element of a coordinate system, and only of a <strong>projected</strong> one. Unprojected CS does not even have a projection.</p>
<p>Bogus terminology makes learning (and teaching) harder.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3918: Consider use of the term "CRS" instead of "Projection" throughout QGIShttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3918?journal_id=125452008-07-26T10:22:59ZTim Suttontim@linfiniti.com
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>In Progress</i></li></ul><p>My comment was based on the assumption that the original poster was referring to internal references to SRS in source code etc. ("CRS" instead of "Projection" throughout QGIS). I agree in the user interface it should be relatively painless to change and will look at doing so for 1.0.0</p>
<p>Changed the ticket type from bug (nothing is 'broken' by using one term over another here) to enhancement.</p>
<p>Changed severity to minor (nothing is broken although the term's useage may be incorrect it doesnt interfere with the normal functioning of the application).</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3918: Consider use of the term "CRS" instead of "Projection" throughout QGIShttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3918?journal_id=125462008-07-26T12:10:57ZMaciej Sieczka -tutey@o2.pl

<p>But it is broken. Like if you called an apple a car.</p>

<p>Not "may be" but evidently is.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #3918: Consider use of the term "CRS" instead of "Projection" throughout QGIShttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/3918?journal_id=125472008-07-31T11:26:56ZTim Suttontim@linfiniti.com
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>In Progress</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>fixed</i></li></ul><p>Hi</p>
<p>I have fixed this with <a class="changeset" href="https://issues.qgis.org/projects/qgis/repository/revisions/e1368a77a93f2bd015978bdb70acb6b8ced481dd" title="Fix for ticket #15 (Use term CRS instead of Projection throughout. Note this is a cosmetic fix on...">e1368a77</a> (SVN r8955). Please note its a superficial fix in as much I only changed end user visible aspects of QGIS to use the CRS term. As I mentioned in one of my previous comments above, changing through the whole of QGIS source base every useage (e.g. class name) to CRS is considerable work and I would not like to make such changes this close to 1.0. I'm closing this ticket, and will revisit the programmatic naming conventions as relates to CRS in a future release of QGIS.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
