[Qgis-developer] Future of OpenLayers plugin - time to deprecate?

[Nyall Dawson]

Hi all,

The email chain below is just one example of a user who has issues
with QGIS after installing the OpenLayers plugin. Stackexchange is
filled with similar examples (See
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/qgis-openlayers-plugin).

I'm wondering if it's time we discussed the future of this plugin. Now
that we have a viable replacement (Quick Map Services) which doesn't
demonstrate these issues, should we deprecate the OpenLayers plugin
and remove it from the plugin repo?

Sorry, previously posted response under wrong subject:

Thank you.   I have been doing some additional testing, it appears to
relate to having a few maps on the canvas that use the Open Street Map
underlay.  The behavior is pretty much as noted in the referenced issue.

Even with a single OSM underlay, while I do get an export, the
underlay is not complete, i.e. jagged edges where some tiles are missing in
the exported png, even though they do appear on the map.

I will try QuickMapServices.plugin.

Thanks.

Dick
