[Qgis-user] Change auto-selected column headers behaviour at delimited text import

[Werner Macho]

Hi Roland,

without trying it my first guess would be that the file

QGIS/src/providers/delimitedtext/qgsdelimitedtextsourceselect.cpp
line number 587 has something to do with it ..

(trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "longitude"
), QStringLiteral( "latitude" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "lon" ),
QStringLiteral( "lat" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "east" ),
QStringLiteral( "north" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "x" ),
QStringLiteral( "y" ) );
  trySetXYField( fieldList, isValidCoordinate, QStringLiteral( "e" ),
QStringLiteral( "n" ) );)

maybe give it a try.

regards
Werner
