Awesome plugin!

Yet, there's one feature I'd like to use which I can't seem to get running: using the extent of a layer as bounding box for the OSM download.
I tried using a layer both directly from PostgreSQL and as OGR .shp file (both in EPSG:4326), but both result in the following error:

An error has occured while executing Python code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/greg_ko/.qgis2/python/plugins\QuickOSM\ui\query_dialog.py", line 164, in runQuery
    bbox = self.getBBox()
  File "C:/Users/greg_ko/.qgis2/python/plugins\QuickOSM\ui\QuickOSMWidget.py", line 133, in getBBox
    raise NoLayerException(suffix=layerName)
NoLayerException

Python version:
2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:44:16) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

QGIS version:
2.4.0-Chugiak Chugiak, 8fdd08a

The query I used is:
node({{bbox}});(way(bn)[landuse=forest];way(bn)[natural=wood];);(._;>;);out;

There seems to be an issue with referring to the selected layer, even though the dropdown list is populated just fine after clicking the reload button... The progress bar in the plugin window keeps running, also the mouse cursor stays in the processing stage, but QGIS itself is still working (i.e. it doesn't freeze).

As you can see I'm using QGIS 2.4.0 on Windows 7.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo/Templates

Improve QueryFactory with more keys/values, some operators "and", "not", "or" ....
Like in Overpass Turbo, a simple line edit.

While plugin downloads respects QGIS' http proxy settings, the QgisQuickOSMPlugin doesn't seem to honor those http proxy settings. At least I'm getting some http error message when I try to call overpass api/nominatim behind an http proxy.

Hello,

I would like to know how to retrieve correct text encoding of OSM tag with Quick OSM plugin?
Should I specify text encoding somewhere in the query or should I specify an ecnoding in the layer properties (bu which enconding)

Thanks in advance

Regards

Copying text query from google drive online document (using Firefox), then pasting into Overpass query text box, get a bad visual of pasted text...

Pasting same text query to gedit, then selecting from it, copying and re pasting text from gedit works good...

cr+lf issue on google text docs ?

Please see the attached image...
May be not related to this plugin...

Thank
Marco

Add some alias in INI for each layers.
We shoudn't mix QML for styling a layer and alias

There are other Overpass instances around, like http://overpass.osm.ch/api .

So it would be useful to configure them. I've seen that you have the information put statically into the code at .qgis2\python\plugins\QuickOSM\ui\main_window.py

self.comboBox_default_OAPI.setItemText(0,_translate("ui_main_window","http://www.overpass-api.de/api/",None))
self.comboBox_default_OAPI.setItemText(1,_translate("ui_main_window","http://overpass.osm.rambler.ru/cgi/",None))
self.comboBox_default_OAPI.setItemText(2,_translate("ui_main_window","http://api.openstreetmap.fr/oapi/",None))

It would be nice to have this in the Parameters section - or at least
as a parameter in osmconf.ini (.qgis2\python\plugins\QuickOSM\osmconf.ini)

In My queries there are a couple of references to Montpellier; I might be better avoiding references to local queries

Given a user

• fills out "Quick query" parameters in default mode
• (without setting Directory and File prefix in "Advanced"),
• and does a "Run query" temporary layers are created,
• then closes QGIS project

Now when reopening, QGIS project manager says "Layer ...not found" and all data is lost.

I therefore propose, that QuickOSM plugin asks user something like "There are unsaved layers. Do you really want to close project?"

Hi,
i tried to install QuickOSM but it cannot be loaded because of missing Python-Modul: system.
Installed python version 2.5 and 2.7.
Maybe a simple question, but i'm just a beginner.

Add options "extent of the selected features"

I know that the plugin makes little sense without internet connection, but I am sometimes offline when working with QGIS. Other plugins can live silently without internet access.

OQL's syntax should be colored in the query panel.
Today, it's only XML.

If we delete a query from the mainWindow, it isn't deleted from the dock.

Overpass Turbo can have many {{...}}.
Some are already supported by QuickOSM, some not.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo/Extended_Overpass_Queries

For some reason, for me, all data requested via QuickOSM gets snapped to a grid where lat/lon values are integers:

Could it be that there is a number parsing issue because I'm on a PC with German locale (where floats are typeset with commas instead of decimal points)? But, setting the UI-language to English doesn't seem to help.

If the user change only checkbox about layers, the query shoudn't be executed again and shoud use the previous result

We can't select "extent of a layer" in QuickQuery even if the combobox isn't empty.

The first loop in OsmParser.py could be skiped.

Administrative polygons aren't in OSM everywhere like admin_level=8 for instance.
In this kind of area, QuickOSM only works with {{bbox}}.

A quickquery should accept point result with nominatim and ask for a radius :

Wikipedia link with special characters doesn't work

Like in OverpassTurbo, the plugin should propose an "auto-repair".
Try this query : http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4oF

If Processing is OK with that, the plugin should provide some usefull models.

Currently, the output is written to shapefiles. This leads to truncated field names in the attribute table.

Writing to a spatialite database can avoid that. Have a look at how "Add vector layer" imports osm data, which is better in that aspect.

To be able to open this kind of link : http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4n5

Any large query made by mistake (or not) will just freeze QGIS and there is no way out except killing it.

It seems necessary to have a cancel button, to stop a running query.

The help suggests that colour should be applied automatically for line layers. I've tried to test this by downloading the subway lines for Vienna but the colour attribute is not applied automatically. It works just fine if I manually enable data-defined properties and select the colour attribute. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Is there an easy way to apply template formatting to the resulting data that is pulled down?

QuickQuery should have a combobox with common keys/values according to a dic in a config file.
We could write our own key, but with auto-completion if possible.

Issue 1. A "Quick query" of zoos (tag "tourism=zoo") generates following Overpass query:

<osm-script output="json" timeout="75"> 
     <id-query {{nominatimArea:Switzerland}} into="area"/> 
     <union>
          <query type="node">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
          <query type="way">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
          <query type="relation">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
     </union>
     <union>
          <item />
          <recurse type="down"/>
     </union>
     <print mode="body" />
</osm-script>

This valid query generates three layers (with no. of objects in parantheses):

Layer OsmQuery POINT (44)
Layer OsmQuery LINE (7)
Layer OsmQuery POLYGON (69)

When executed in http://overpass-turbo.eu/ it shows slightly different no, of objects:

Loaded – nodes: 1694, ways: 81, relations: 3
Displayed – pois: 45, lines: 8, polygons: 69

Why this (parsing error)?

Issue 2. The same query from above where output only prints points geometries looks like this:

<osm-script output="json" timeout="75"> 
     <id-query {{nominatimArea:Switzerland}} into="area"/> 
     <union>
          <query type="node">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
          <query type="way">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
          <query type="relation">
               <has-kv k="tourism" v="zoo"/> 
               <area-query from="area"/>
          </query>
     </union>
     <print mode="body" geometry="center" />
</osm-script>

When executed in http://overpass-turbo.eu/ 86 POIs are "printed" as expected:

Loaded – nodes: 16, ways: 67, relations: 3
Displayed – pois: 86, lines: 0, polygons: 0

But running this in QuickOSM, only 16 nodes are generated in point layer OsmQuery.
=> Why isn't it generating 86 POIs in point layer OsmQuery?
