[Qgis-user] Problems with Metatools

Hi Agustin

Seems, this is PyQt bug, some bindings not available in old versions.
Can you provide your PyQt version? We'll look what we can do with this.

Added to the TODO. Will be implemented soon

Currently Metatools write bbox "as is" without any CRS conversion.
Maybe we should add new setting, something like
"Convert bbox into WGS84".

Not sure that understand you correctly. XLS files are MS Excel files and
AFAIK can't be loaded into QGIS. Maybe you mean XML (metadata) files?

Thanks for your feedback
