Hvordan stiller man et QGIS spørgsmål?

If you are going to ask QGIS related question via the mailing lists, please provide enough information to help others easily understand what your problem is. Without a clear and precise question, it is very hard to answer for anybody or takes just too much time because the answer will be a question to you etc etc. You may provide information such as:

  • gerne en beskrivende titel til din email

  • hvilken QGIS version du brugte på dette tidspunkt (præcist)

  • what are you expecting to get

  • if applicable, what have you tried and the result you got

  • if your question is about something broken, you may also provide:

    • what exactly is the error (if possible: screendump, stacktrace, copy of error text)

    • hvilket Operativ System og version

    • hvordan du installerede det (osgeo4w? standalone-installation? egen kompilering?)

    • at what time did it break (reinstall, new install, system update, project changes)

Keep in mind that the more precise is your question, the quicker and more accurate can be the answer.

Bemærk

In case of a broken function, you may give a look at QGIS issue tracker before mailing to the list. More information at Bugs, Features and Issues.

How are QGIS release names selected?

After a successful developer meeting in Zurich (Switzerland), we decided that the next release should be related to it. Since then, all releases have been named after locations of our developer meetings.

I created a map with QGIS, do I have to mention QGIS?

There is no requirement to mention QGIS for maps produced with it. It is of course really welcome if would like to add a note saying that the map was produced with QGIS. »Made with QGIS« or »Map created using the Free and Open Source QGIS« are good examples of such a note.

Bemærk

Do not say ©QGIS as QGIS does not hold copyrights on your work.

Kan jeg åbne ECW filer med QGIS?

Ja du kan… MEN afhængig af hvilket Operativsystem du har, er det mere eller mindre besværligt.

If you are under Windows and are using the OSGeo4w installer, it is included.

If you are using macOS, you can find the ECW plugin and install instructions at https://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks

For other instructions, eg look here: https://www.faunalia.eu/en/blog/2019-05-21_ecw_support
