Needs a better way to select the CRS about linz-data-importer HOT 10 CLOSED

from linz-data-importer.

there is apparently a vast number of CRSs available (perhaps this is an error though, because they seem too many).

I think there are fewer if you try in QGIS 2.18.x rather than 3.x, but it still seems quite a lot.

Thanks @AlisterH

The WMS capabilities document lists all these as "All supported EPSG projections".
With WMTS and WFS only one or two are ever available.

The purpose of the EPSG combo-box is to show the user which crs's the data is served by the server (if they are in the list they are stored in this project and do not need to be reprojected - This is useful for the user to understand as the user can then understand when QGIS will reporject on the fly. (this statement is true for WMTS and WFS though considering the number for WMS I will need to investigate this for further for WMS)) .

Currently the plugin:

• Ensures the projects current crs is selected in the combo-box. I expect In most cases the user will not alter this (?)

Will do to improve the plugin:

• Ensure the list is ordered

Consider:

• how to reduce the number
• Consider adding a 'search and filter' text box in the combo-box

Ah, I see it does do this in QGIS 2, but it doesn't in QGIS 3.

Custom combobox widget built with text filtering of items.

However, when promoting the custom combobox widget, the plugin fails at start up.

The below test results in the same error when Service_dialog_base.ui is extended by the custom combo box error. related to https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8760?

The above was related to bad import paths

using python sort() on the wms wspg list returned from the server each time is to slow

The server has a predefined espg list for all wms layers. Therefore it will be ordered once and applied as the crs espg option for all layers.

from linz-data-importer.

Applying order to WMS ESPG list for each domain is obviously much faster
