[Qgis-user] Re: Saving layer CRS in GML file

[Luís de Sousa]

Hello Alex,

As you can see the original message was posted on the 28th of April, 2 weeks
and a half ago. It contains a fairly objective question that is complete in
itself. Whenever this message fell to the 2nd or 3rd page in the message
list the number of views stopped increasing. I believe I had two options:
repost or bump; on other fora repost is usually taken as unpolite, beyond,
of course, the replication of threads. If you have a further alternative to
suggest in this case I will gladly use it in this forum henceforth.

Regarding the issue itself, the "Define current projection" tool doesn't
appear to be working; it always returns the error message "Output spatial
reference system is not valid" no matter what output CRS I try to define.
I'll try to gather more information and post a specific message for this
subject.

A GML file without CRS definitions is useless for most purposes. If indeed
QGis doesn't have yet this functionality, then I believe its inclusion
should be considered for a following release in a not to distant future.

Regards,

Luís
