[Qgis-developer] 0.8.0: some comments/problems

[Stephan Holl]

Dear Qgissers,

while working hard with the qgis 0.8.0 win32 binaries from
download.qgis.org I found some oddities. Perhaps you are aware of them,
if not I will create a bug-entry in the tracker:

* Query-Build inside the metadata-tab does not open for PostGIS-layers.
  It works on GNU/Linux though. Using the Querybuilder by
  double-clicking the layername inside the open-dialog, everything
  works fine though.
* SPIT: once starting the import of a shapefile the 'cancel'-button
  does not work anymore. It would be nice to cover the import into a
  transaction block that 'cancel' could be easily rolled back.
* The OGR-driver where GRASS is linked against does not support
  PostGIS. This should be changed so that GRASS can export to PostGIS
  directly using v.out.ogr. (Is it save to exchange the gdal|ogr.dll
  with one with postgresql-support, perhaps from fwtools for win32?!)

The next 'problem' appear on both windows and linux-systems:
* Snap-Distance for editing PostGIS-layers does somehow not work
  correctly. Also 2 Error-boxes appear with the hint to the place to
  change this.

Some suggestion:
* GRASS toolbox: The module-name should be prompted somewhere on the
  tab, perhaps directly over the first entry-fields of the module-tab?
  This would make it easier to see which module is open.


As always, thanks for your hard work on QGIS though.

Best regards
	
	Stephan
