[Qgis-user] Georeferencing Vector Files

[Springfield Harrison]

Good news!  I've struggled with the mapset idea and gave up.   Actually, it
was the Group thing that finished me off.

I'll look again in the processing tool box, I don't remember seeing it.

I just (re)installed 2.10 but options seem  to  come and go at random.  For
me, QGIS is great but all the install failures and missing dependencies
have put me off.   I've tried many plugins that won't run.

Thanks . . .

Cheers . . . . .   Spring
