[Qgis-user] CRS was undefined: defaulting to CRS EPSG:4326 - WGS 84

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
You can simply left or right click the layer in the layer panel and define the layer CRS.  What you are seing is not an error but your default option to do when your Qgis tries to open a file that does not contain a CRS.  You can go to your system setting to the section on “what to do when opening a file without a CRS.”  Select “ask” and not “use default CRS or use project CRS “.

Shp files (I guess you are using that format) uses a .prj extension file for the CRS.  If that file is missing, you will have that message.
