[Qgis-user] Click to open layer

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi Grant,
My advice would be to have a shared drive, or network drive, which both machines access with the same path.
But...in the absence of that, you could also modify your path if you prefer...
The Filepath attribute could be shortened/modified, and you can manually set the start of the path. So for example..

You can set your "filepath" attribute to something like..  someRootfolder/somesubfolders/ and your action text would be


1.       MACHINE1          qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('C:/somefilepath/[%filepath%][%filename%]','[%filename%]')

2.       MACHINE2          qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('E:/someOTHERfilepath/[%filepath%][%filename%]','[%filename%]')

As long as the attributes stay the same, as in the same Root and Subfolders, then the first path can be anything...
So for arguments sake...


1.       MACHINE1          qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('D:/00_DATA_VALIDATION/[%filepath%][%filename%]','[%filename%]')

2.       MACHINE2                 qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('//some_network_host/localdrive/00_DATA_VALIDATION/[%filepath%][%filename%]','[%filename%]')

I hope that's helps.
Kind Regards,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Thanks for that. Can I use a project path that points to the project folder, something like  '.\' ? I use two different machines and so it would be good to be able to use the local address.

Cheers Grant

Hi Grant,
Do you mean insert a GeoTIFF in?
If that's the case, then you want the following Action..

Type: Python
Description: Add Raster to Canvas or whatever you want
Action Text: qgis.utils.iface.addRasterLayer('[%filepath%][%filename%]','[%filename%]')

For the above to work, you will need two attributes in your Polygon, a "filepath" and a "filename" attribute. In the fileparh is the Path to the folder containing the GeoTiff and the filename is the name of the file you are looking to load... so something like this...

[cid:image001.png at 01D98C99.DC1C7E00]

This should then load any GeoTIFF into your Canvas.
Kind Regards,

Richard

I am sure there is a simple way to do this but I would like to click on a polygon and get it to open a tiff file into my map canvas. Do I use an Action and an "open" command?
Regards Grant Boxer
