qgis-gbif-api's Issues

Tell about embedded dependencies

requests and iso3166

Plugin ignore QGIS proxy settings

This has been reported by mail by a user.

Requests support proxy servers, we have to check how to retrieve QGIS config (and how to test that!).

Create early on some test suite

Attributes: make minimal mode

Only store GBIF key, date, location, scientific name (for better performance/readability)

The popup resize policy should be defined

Currently it can be shrunk to 0 width and height, textboxes do not resize, etc.

"Invalid syntax" at plugin install

A user reported an "invalid syntax" error message at plugin installation. That may be the following issue: https://hub.qgis.org/issues/3145 (repo name, and therefore zip file submitted to the repository indeed contains a dash).

Improve performance (spatial index? others?)

Show a progress bar

Please consider adding it to Processing

This would make species modelling a breeze. See e.g. lecos plugin for an example.

Citing GBIF data

Hi,

Can't remember if we've been in touch about this before, but I wondered if you have an idea of how to improve the way users of the plugin cite GBIF-mediated data?

I've tried adding some instructions to our QGIS page, but I wonder if it could also be made more clear directly in the plugin?

Thanks!

Display issue with 4k display?

Reporter by Yvan Barbier via email:

Need a basic readme page w/ screenshots

Improve area and/or time filters

Depending on taxon, results can be huge (and timeouted), even for a small country and just one year.
Is it possible to add a spatial filter (x-min/max, y-min/max; or map canvas extent) and/or a date filter (instead of year)?
Thank you

In Qgis 3.16.16 I cannot see the option for map canvas extent (pull request https://github.com/BelgianBiodiversityPlatform/qgis-gbif-api/pull/34/commits)

Inform users if there are more records than GBIF can return

GBIF

Dear Nic,

I was trying to download the Lantana camara data using GBIF plugin using qgis version 2.14.3 in windows platform. Earlier I downloaded few species now when in download the above said species it's get stuck after downloading 5400 records. This may be because the GBIF UI is changed. Could you please guide me to download the data.

Regards,
Subbu

Cannot load GBIF occurrences from menu

The Use section on the README mentions that one can click Load GBIF occurrences from Vector > GBIF occurrences

I see that term repeated four times:

Clicking on any of those doesn't do anything.

The alternative method of clicking on the icon in the toolbar does bring up a window.

Possible collaboration with another plugin

Problem

QGIS currently has the plugin https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/SpeciesExplorer/

Can you take a look at it and see if the functionality is the same or what differences exists. Maybe they could be scope to colloborate.

I know the two plugins can coexists but it would be nice if the two could find common ground and merge

Create script to automatically build .zip file

As seen in #32, a few manual steps are now needed to prepare the plugin to be submitted:

make sure the directory is named qgisgifapi
remove __pycache__ directories with find . | grep -E "(__pycache__|\.pyc|\.pyo$)" | xargs rm -rf
zip the plugin directory
remove __MACOSXin the archive with zip -d qgisgbifapi.zip __MACOSX/\*
(shouldn't we also remove the .git directory?)

It would be great to write a small shell script to automate all those steps.
