Bug report #11520
Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 6 years ago
When user settings are set to : "set CRS of new layers to project CRS", then no dialog is raised to ask for choosing actual CRS of delimited text layers, and this can lead to mis-reprojected layers. (say you load WGS84 data, in a project with another projection)
It is easy to solve afterward by setting the right CRS definition, but common users fall in the caveat here.
From a UX point of view, it doesn't seem pertinent that a import plugin uses settings of new layers. I would vote for a CRS chooser in Delimited text import dialog, eventually disabled if user inserts EWKT text as geometry (not sure about this).
