[Qgis-user] Bugs

[jonathanmoules at warwickshire.gov.uk]

Hi Guys,
        A few bugs with QGIS 1.7.0. Unfortunately there's no obvious way 
to actually create an account or report bugs on your bug tracker so I'm 
forced to post them here.

1) I have a ~600MB raster in JP2000 format (*.jp2). QGIS doesn't seem to 
be able to load this, at least not in a timely manner. It spent at least 5 
mins sitting there eating 100% CPU and using quite a bit of RAM.
I also have a ~4GB ECW file which similar things happen with. Both files 
are projected (OSGB - 27700) and I'm fairly sure they have pyramids.

MapInfo, ArcGIS, MapModeller (all proprietary), and MapWindow (Open 
Source) are all capable of displaying both images in fractions of a 
second.

This is on a Windows 2008 R2 Machine.

2) I load a shapefile that's projected in British National Grid into QGIS. 
The built in QGIS scale shows "degrees" rather than "metres" as the 
measurement unit despite showing "0" to "30,000" numerically (so it is 
showing metres, it's just incorrectly saying "degrees". This is to a new 
map that has no other layers added.

3) Why is there a "(c) QGIS 2011" in the bottom right of the map viewer? 
99% + of other programs use the Help->About page for that.
