Description

Hi,
In QGIS 1.7.4, after I loaded a shapefile without a .prj file, I tried to use the fTools 'Define current projection' to creat it. I choose the CRS (I do not import it from another layer) and hit the OK button. But QGIS gives back this messege: "Output spatial reference system is not valid"
I've tried in several computers with Windows XP and 7 and all of them gives the message.
I guess this is a bug, right?
Best regards

Pedro

Not reproducible here with latest master. Please provide sample dataset and step-by-step instruction.

Here it goes the shapefile that i'm trying to get fTools 'Define current projection' to work. The CRS that I whant is EPSG 20790. I'm trying to get it to work on Windows.

Works here with this data

I have noticed that sometimes some old "configuration" of ftools remain stored in the .qgis folder, and removing it makes things work. Please give it a try (eventually to a backup the same folder to save installed plugins).

Well, this error occurred in several new and clean installations of QGIS 1.7.4 in windows computers.

it depends on how "clean" was the installation, it sometimes not enough to remove the QGIS program, it is needed to swipe the .qgis folder and/or the registry entries. It doesn't mean that is the case, but for instance minutes ago I fixed a ftools thing by removing the .qgis folder.

It was the first time QGIS was installed in those computers. The same error occurred in 7 computers. It's, at least, odd, don't you think?

Confirmed here, current trunk on debian testing

Confirmed (Fedora 14 x 64 / 1.9.90-Alpha, 927dcbd). The configuration files were removed before opening QGIS (~/.qgis, ~/.config/QuantumGIS).

It still doesn't work with custom CRSs. Works with CRSs in the internal QGIS DB.
