[Qgis-user] Scale bar and area calculation issues

[Tony Bigbee]

Thanks, Micha.  Layer: Save As... was what I needed to know.

Even when the project is a different projection, when I select Project
CRS, "WGS 84" still displays in the text box instead of the project
CRS.  If I manually browse to it, I can select an apply the CRS I
want.  Don't know if that is a bug.

Thanks for the assistance.

File:  Save Project As:  doesn't give me any CRS options, just a file name.
So I save it, restart QGIS and nothing has changed.

I think that's why I'm finding the reprojection process
counterintuitive.   Changing the project settings to a different CRS
doesn't actually change the layers, and I can't see any way in Save
Project As or other to transform/reproject.
