Initially only flag available is whether to sort drivers by
recommended order. The recommended order puts GPKG first and
SHP second, then leaves the rest alphabetical.
This fixes a few instances in the QGIS gui where these recommended formats
are not listed first.
Flags can be used to control how features are added to the sink.
For now, there's only a single flag available - FastInsert.
When FastInsert is set, faster inserts will be use at the cost
of updating the passed features to reflect changes made at the
provider.
This includes skipping the update of the passed feature IDs
to match the resulting feature IDs for the feature within
the data provider.
Individual sink subclasses may or may not choose to respect
this flag, depending on whether or not skipping this update
represents a significant speed boost for the operation.
QgsVectorLayer always ignores the flag - feature ids are
required for the featureAdded signal to be correctly emitted,
and it's expected that performance critical applications will
add features directly to a data provider instead of
via QgsVectorLayer's edit buffer.
When saving a vector layer into an existing file, depending on the capabilities
of the output driver, the user can now decide whether:
- to overwrite the whole file
- to overwrite only the target layer (layer name is now configurable)
- to append features to the existing target layer
- to append features, add new fields if there are any.
All above is available for drivers like GPKG, SpatiaLite, FileGDB, ...
For drivers like Shapefile, MapInfo .tab, feature append is also available.
* Remove deprecated Qgis::WKBType and API cleanup
Renames QgsWKBTypes to QgsWkbTypes
Replaces usage of the enums:
* Qgis::WKBType with QgsWkbTypes::Type
* Qgis::GeometryType with QgsWkbTypes::GeometryType
Their values should be forward compatible (a fact that was already
explited up to now by casting between the types)
Renames some SSLxxx to SslXxx and URIxxx to UriXxx
* Fix build warnings and simplify type handling
* Add a fixer to rewrite imports
* The forgotten rebase conflictThe forgotten rebase conflicts
* QgsDataSourcURI > QgsDataSourceUri
* QgsWKBTypes > QgsWkbTypes
* Qgis.WKBGeom > QgsWkbTypes.Geom
* Further python fixes
* Guess what... Qgis::wkbDimensions != QgsWkbTypes::wkbDimensions
* Fix tests
* Python 3 updates
* [travis] pull request caching cannot be disabled
so at least use it in r/w mode
* Fix python3 print in plugins
This change consolidates more unit handling and conversion into
QgsUnitTypes.
Additionally, UnknownUnit was renamed to UnknownDistanceUnit.
All methods which accepted QGis::UnitType parameters have been
updated to take QgsUnitTypes::DistanceUnit instead.
ALso remove the unit handling methods toLiteral, fromLiteral, tr,
fromTr, and fromUnitToUnitFactor from QGis. Their corresponding
counterparts in QgsUnitTypes should be used instead.
* Some formats require a compulsory encoding, typically UTF-8.
Change initMetadata() to indicate UTF-8 compulsory encoding for
GeoJSON, GeoRSS, GML, GPKG, GPX, KML, SQLite, SpatiaLite, FileGDB,
XLSX and ODS
* QgsVectorFileWriter::init(): make it override the user specified
encoding if the format has a compulsory encoding. And remove hard-coded
case for KML.
copy/= operators or making them private
This revealed (and fixes) some issues, including a potential crash
using server access control (refs #13919), and a potential crash with
diagrams
Also allows forcing output file to be multi type, or include z
dimension.
This makes it possible to do things like save a geometryless
table WITH a geometry type, so that geometries can then be
manually added to rows. Previously this was only possible to do in
QGIS by resorting to dummy joins or other hacks.
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
