[Qgis-user] QGIS/ArcGIS python interference

[Torsten Lange]

Hi Paolo,

This "spline with barrier" function, which we are using to model faulted geological surfaces/units is one of the tools that are missing. But beside those tools the data infrastructure, which comprises a strongly integrated all-kind-of-geo-data pool is built on SDE versioning having a Postgis storage backend. So, for instance, as QGIS user I don't get to see the most current version in which people do their actual editing. Usually I extract the actual state befor closing/finishing a job to be sure I didn't miss anything brand new, which is still feasible for the small number of editing staff. This versioning also is the reason why editing is allowed only in ArcGIS.

This means, for a long time ArcGIS will stay the main GIS for everthing in our federal state geological survey even all ArcGIS plus extra licences obviously hurt the budget. The permanent geoscientists conductiong the everyday assessment work use prepared views on the data they need and have actually no time to look around other GIS software. So QGIS is "watched" and offered as tool but more or less unsupported.

Best, Torsten

 just out of curiosity: what exactly is missing from Processing toolbox?
 I would bet developing a plugin to fill up the gaps would be feasible,
 at reasonable costs.

 All the best.
