<p>I think that Jurgen just made a massive operation of pushing the Target version of all tickets to something that make sense (after the new release), so maybe something was given the best priority/target version (I hope during the next dev meeting we can simplify this aspect of the tickets).</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6081: Allow manually change project CRS from project properties when OTFR is OFFhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/6081?journal_id=538772014-06-28T05:58:45ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<ul></ul><p>Ok Giovanni, thanks for the explanation ;)</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6081: Allow manually change project CRS from project properties when OTFR is OFFhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/6081?journal_id=538902014-06-28T07:48:39ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Feedback</i></li></ul><p>Hi Giovanni,</p>
<p>I had a look at the behavior and it seems to me that makes sense, I'll try to explain with a series of steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>add a 4326 layer</li>
<li>activate OTFR to 4326 (or else)</li>
<li>add a 3003 (or else) layer</li>
<li>go to project properties: if I disable OTFR then QGIS gives the project the CRS of the selected layer in the TOC. If no layer is actually selected then QGIS seems to give the project the CRS of the last layer that was selected in the TOC.</li>

<ul></ul><p>Ok Giovanni, you're right. I didn't know the rule of the fourth point: when disabling OTFR the CRS from the last selected layer is applied. <br />The strange behaviour, deriving from this, for users coming from other softwares is that it's difficult to set a specific CRS with a blank project. I.e., I open QGIS and want to set the CRS to EPSG:3003, before loading layers. It requires:</p>
<p>1 - enable OTFR<br />2 - set the CRS<br />3 - apply it (close the window)<br />4 - reopen the project properties and turn OTRF off</p>
<p>I can close this ticket, even if it appears an unexpected behaviour.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6081: Allow manually change project CRS from project properties when OTFR is OFFhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/6081?journal_id=538982014-06-28T08:22:07ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>I guess you mean set a project CRS different from the one defined in</p>
<p>settings -> options -> CRS -> always start new projects with this CRS</p>
<p>right?</p>

<p>I don't think it is necessary to close it, I guess that if all other software (or at least the most popular) does a different thing that makes sense, then I guess that there is room for discussion.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6081: Allow manually change project CRS from project properties when OTFR is OFFhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/6081?journal_id=539032014-06-28T08:29:38ZGiovanni Allegrigiohappy@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I don't mean setting a default CRS (I know it can be done through QGIS options). I mean setting a specific CRS on a blank project, without layers. <br />It may sound unuseful, because the CRS will be automatically set as soon as you load a layer and, in case you want to change it, you can right click the layer and click "set project CRS from layer". Though, various users find natural being able to set the project CRS directly from the project settings window, even with OTFR turned off (both on a blank project or having already some layers loaded).<br />I wouldn't call it a bug, but a UI/behaviour feature</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #6081: Allow manually change project CRS from project properties when OTFR is OFFhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/6081?journal_id=539772014-06-29T08:01:54ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
