[Qgis-user] RE: [Qgis-developer] New snapshot of OpenStreetMap plugin

[Standaert Arnout]

Hi,

A few questions relating to the OSM plugin... I'm trying to use it on Qgis 1.1.0 unstable (Pan), based on revision 10748.

When trying to load OSM data from a file, I get this error: "You don't have OSM provider installed!".
I suppose this is a problem with the unstable build I'm using? It probably hasn't been compiled with OSM provider support in it?

Is there a 1.1 unstable build somewhere that does have it?

A second question: apparently, the OSM data download feature does not use the proxy information in the general Qgis options. Or at least, even with the proxy configured in Qgis, the plugin just downloads the proxy's HTML error page instead of the real OSM data :-) Is this an error, or is proxy support not enabled in the plugin itself? (yet?)

In any case, thanks a bunch for all the effort put into this. Working with Qgis really helps our research over here!

Kind regards,
Arnout Standaert
