 Hello there,

 I'm trying to write a python plugin which needs to determine
 georeferencing info for layers.

 I set a layer's projection by right clicking the layer, selecting
 properties and then selecting Change SRS under the general tab.

 I select SRSID 2992 ( UTM Z 15N ) and click apply

 In my python code, I am doing something like this:

 srsID = regionLayer.srs().srsid()

 srsID always comes out as 3344 instead of 2992!

 Other queries through srs() also seem to say the layer is of longlat
 instead of UTM as I tried to define.

 Is this a known issue?



 Regards,

 Vince
