[Qgis-developer] OGRSpatialReference problem in QGIS

[Florian Hillen]

Hi Frank,

thanks for the fast answer.
(projectSelector->selectedProj4String()).toUtf8() delivers the following
proj.4 string:

+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=9 +k=1 +x_0=3500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel
+datum=potsdam +units=m +no_defs
