<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Despite the lack of financial investment QGIS-Processing is, in my opinion, the best tool for GIS analysis in the market (including paid software). However there are a few problems (like the one mentioned above) that can discourage new users and ruin user experience. </div><div><br></div><div>I think some paid development time would certainly help QGIS- processing a lot. For instance QGIS-Processing multi-threaded support seems to be finished or close but still hasn't been merged into master (I assume because no developer had the time to review it).</div><div><br></div><div>If the sponsors are not interested in financing Processing, then crowdfunding would be a nice alternative. I would certainly be willing to contribute.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheer</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 20, 2015 at 11:28 AM, Anita Graser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anitagraser@gmx.at" target="_blank">anitagraser@gmx.at</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hi,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><div class="gmail_default">I'd like to draw some attention to a really nasty OGR issue/regression which makes it impossible to use OGR algos in models: <a href="http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13174" target="_blank">http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13174</a></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">In general, this is kind of a follow upon of the thread "GRASS missing from Processing?" where Paolo summarized:</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 12:31 PM, Paolo Cavallini <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cavallini@faunalia.it" target="_blank">cavallini@faunalia.it</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">The main point here is very few people invest in it, so<br>
