mtravis / gridref-qgis Goto Github PK

I wonder if it makes more GUI sense? What do others think?

Would it be possible to add a box to the grid ref tool that shows the Lat long and allows you to search using that.

F2 key is used commonly for renaming of items in the QGIS GUI (e.g. rename a layer or a group). By using it as a shortcut key in the plugin the renaming with F2 does not work anymore.

the current plugin doesn’t allow the user to specify the precision of the grid reference. They’re all 8 figure (10m) e.g. SX 8453 5486.

It's not clear when the plugin is active - the button in the panel doesn't appear depressed. I guess this is probably a Qt setting?

Can we have the lat/long in the dialog box that results from the users clicking the map.

.pyc
thanks

Do people agree that this is a good idea?

You had a go at this yet? I've tried running the 2to3 script on this plugin but it keeps giving me this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

@mtravis So the way this works is that you should write tests in Python, give them a filename starting test_, and put them in test. There are already some there which are provided out of the box by the Plugin Builder. You can then either run those tests individually to check they pass, or use nose to run them all at once.

@akbargumbira (I think) wrote a post describing how to run such tests on Windows, but generally, they only run on Linux/Mac.

Here's an initial list of possible tests, to expand as we think of more:

• xy_to_osgb gives a correct result
• xy_to_osgb outside BNG coverage behaves gracefully
• xy_to_osgb with different precision gives results with the correct precision
• Changing precision spinner changes precision setting
• Clicking with the tool writes to the clipboard

When the plugin is activated, F2 causes crash.

It is best to use shortcut keys not reserved for main QGIS functions.

If I enter a wrong OSGB grid ref, it comes up with an error with OK and I can't get rid of it. The only way is to kill the qgis process.

that will allow users to batch process easting,northing files to BNG and vice vers.
