 Hi,

 Replying to [ticket:1820 peterk]:
 > Sorry. I was not aware of the user mailing list and will use it from now
 on unless we suspect a bug. I just don't know enough to separate the bugs
 from the support issues.



 it's ok. If you are not already a power user of qgis I suggest you to post
 your doubts in the user mailing list, people there will give you support
 and eventually will tell you if is a feature or a bug and if eventually is
 necessary to open a ticket or if there is a ticket already open.

 can't get an accurate scale in feet. This appears to be a bug.


 Yes, I already pointed you to the principal ticket that is about this
 problem. The issue is in the developers TODO list, so is just a matter of
 time being fixed. If for your activity is vital to have this bug fixed
 consider to send fund qgis to help (and speed up) the work of the
 developers

 > We also can get raster (MrSID) aerials translated to  TIFF files and
 imported into QGIS, but when laying these over vector files with the same
 CRS (again WGS 84), they are separated by a  significant distance.  The
 imported TIFF aerial set with WGS 84 also seems to have an inaccurate
 scale. Not sure if this is a bug or a support issue.
 >
 > In summary we can not get aerials, regular vector files, and GPS vector
 files to overlay without having either a CRS issue or a scale issue. Any
 suggestions on protocol.

 > Your assistance has been appreciated. By the way, loading GRASS resolved
 plug in problem with KORE and Mac OSX. Thanks again.
