[Qgis-developer] changing srs.db with coordinate system updater Plugin

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

together with Diethard Jansen we found that the plugin we wrote seems to
work. But if we use the plugin and the crs is updated in srs.db the new
parameters are not used. But the parameters are used, if I create a user
defined crs.
 
Maybe I am missing something? Does QGIS save/use crs information somewhere
else?

Any help/information about this is welcome.

Regards
Otto
