'Pick on map' button in 'Map CRS' dialogue does not work #830

Closed yevhenmazur closed 7 years ago

yevhenmazur commented 7 years ago

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create new map
  2. Setup map coordinate reference system
  3. Open any georeferenced template
  4. Try to pick reference point on the map

Actual behaviour

'Map CRS' dialogue opened again, but field 'Geographic coordinates' is still unchanged

Expected behaviour

'Map CRS' dialogue opened again, and field 'Geographic coordinates' and other fields in section 'Reference point' are filled by proper values

Configuration

Mapper Version: All versions (tested on 0.6.1 and current) Operating System: All OSs (tested on Linux and Windows x64)

So far, it is meant to behave like this, for correction of where the real reference point is located on the map.

yevhenmazur commented 7 years ago

Sorry, it seems I've not understood how does it work. So, is there a convenient way to change the reference point, except manually fill-in 'Geographic coordinates' field?

dg0yt commented 7 years ago

There is no such thing. What is the use case for changing both paper and real reference point synchonously? The intented use case is picking out a prominent point feature and entering the known coordinates of this feature.

yevhenmazur commented 7 years ago

I just want pick the point which will be used for magnetic declaration lookup. What is the proper way to do it? Please note - I can't just copy-paste the coordinates in the field 'Geographical coordinates'

dg0yt commented 7 years ago

I wouldn't expect this point to make a significant difference for most orienteering maps.

To copy coordinates to the clipboard, first choose the desired format by right click on the coordinates in the status bar. Then right click the desired position and choose the top-right action: copy-coords

yevhenmazur commented 7 years ago

In my country the magnetic declaration can variate from 5.42° to 8.28°, so I look it up every time when I founding a new map (as often as setup georeference, or even create a new file).

Thanks, there is no problem to grab coordinates in to a clipboard, but impossible paste them in to the field 'Geographic coordinates'.

I'll create new issue, because the original topic and description are incorrect. Here is - #832
