<pre class="k9mail">Harrissou & Paolo,<br><br>I wasn't aware of the OSM Downloader - which I've just tried. In<br>common with OGR2OGR (and native QGIS import), it imports features<br>according to geometry type - eg. a layer of points, a layer of<br>multi-polygons, etc.<br><br>I was aware of QuickOSM. It didn't work for me when I tried a few<br>weeks ago. I've since re-tried. From files, it has the same issues as<br>OSM Downloader / OGR2OGR. The Overpass interface (which is where it<br>seems to be really targeted) is much more powerful and flexible. Even<br>then I had to do things like adjust the timeout for what was a simple<br>query. I think Overpass Queries will be too much for the customers I'm<br>thinking of - even manually entering key queries is probably too much.<br>I'll contact the author as suggested - perhaps a third "set of<br>pre-programmed options" might work rather than my plugin.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Richard<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>On Sat, Oct 5, 2019 at 1:49 AM Paolo Cavallini <cavallini@faunalia.it> wrote:<br>><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> Thanks Harrissou, indeed I meant<br> <a href="http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/QuickOSM/">http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/QuickOSM/</a><br> Cheers.<br><br> On 05/10/19 07:39, Harrissou wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #ad7fa8; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi,<br> And there's also QuickOSM plugin that I think provides this kind of feature.<br><br> Cheers,<br> Harrissou<br><br> Le 5 octobre 2019 07:22:10 GMT+02:00, Paolo Cavallini<br> <cavallini@faunalia.it> a écrit :<br><br> Hi Richard,<br><br><br> On 05/10/19 04:36, Richard Marsden wrote:<br><br> Should I simply submit as say, v0.1, mark it experimental, and<br> perhaps<br> add some notes considering its early state.
