Shapefile is empty (unlike KMZ) #105

Open geotheory opened 9 years ago

geotheory commented 9 years ago

I've just generated a new job (my first time) and appear to have an empty shapefile. Job 13082 refers. screen shot 2015-07-15 at 11 27 23 The unzipped folder is a stonking 227 Mb (from 4 Mb zip!), but the shp files have no data rows when opened in QGIS or R. In contrast, opening the kmz download option in Google Earth contains all the intended features. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

@geotheory Sorry that you are experiencing this bug, as it is a problem that has already been highlighted in a previous issue #75. It seems that the CRS is not recognised in QGIS when the shapefile is past a certain size limit.

Perhaps try a smaller area, or try to re-project the data? To be honest not sure if the later suggestion will work, as I haven't tried it. But again this is something we are aware of and are taking into account for the re-development of the tool.

Ah sorry for duplicate issue. I did check previous but didn't make the link..

Not sure it's the CRS - R also fails to import it, and R ignores CRS until manually specified.

Not a big problem for me as I can work with the KML in the meantime.
