[Qgis-user] Project CRS doesn't update when layer is added

[Lee Hachadoorian]

Karl-Magnus,

The default was "Enable 'on the fly' reprojection by default". I changed 
it to "Automatically enable 'on the fly' reprojection if layers have 
different CRS" and now have the desired behavior: CRS changes to match 
first layer added.

Thanks for your help.

Best,
--Lee

With the two first options, don’t enable and automatically enable on the fly reprojections, I get the project to change from the default CRS set in the dropdown just below. I don't remember witch option that is default from installation.

Project CRS defaults to WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) for a new project and remains that when I add a layer that uses a different CRS.
