[Qgis-user] Problems with Custom CRS

[Johannes Radinger]

Hi,

I try to import a shapefile (ESRI-Shape) I got from a french colleague. The
shape file comes with
a .proj file but this is ignored resp. not known by QGis during import.
Thus I extracted the
proj4 string in GRASS GIS which is:
+proj=lcc +lat_1=45.8989188889 +lat_2=47.6960144444 +lat_0=46.8
+lon_0=2.3372291667 +x_0=600000 +y_0=2200000 +no_defs +a=6378249.2
+rf=293.466021294 +towgs84=-168.000,-60.000,320.000 +to_meter=1

Consequently I tried to set the CRS in QGIS manually by: Settings -> Custom
CRS
and copied the string into the parameters line and clicked on save. But I
couln't find
this custom definition under "User defined Coordinate Systems" when I tried
to set the re-set
the layer CRS.

I work on Ubuntu (12.04) with QGIS 1.8.0 with GDAL 1.9.1.

Any suggestion why there are problems with this projection?
