[Qgis-user] Re: Annoying CRS-Problem with EPSG 31468 / 2167: Conclusions?

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

So, the problem was now described thoroughly, but what are the conclusions  
now?

I'm going to spread QGIS in my region in the next months, and it's quite  
hard to explain to the people, who to 99% work with EPSG 31468-data, that  
they can't ever rely on any data they produce and that they have to  
double-check each layer after creation for the right CRS, even if they set  
it correctly in each setting available?!?

I'm not too familiar with all those packages involved handling the CRSs,  
so can someone please point me the way who to address with this problem?

For novice QGIS-users, this "bug" is a real exclusion criterion for QGIS  
for they will only create crap with it!

Again my findings:
Options settings: new layers and projects are created with EPSG 31468,  
promting for CRS ist set.

- EPSG 31468-Layers with a prj-file from ArcGIS get loaded as 2167 without  
promting for the CRS
- EPSG 31468-Layers loaded into a EPSG 31468-Region in GRASS are handed  
back to QGIS as ... 2167
- New Layers created in some plugins (like some ftools-plugins), added to  
the TOC, are in ... 2167 .. or even 3397


What can i do? (And i really wonder what all those other german users do  
and why the don't complain...)

Thanx for advice
Bernd
