Compatibility with QGIS 3

[fdetsch]

Hi,

at the moment, the TileLayer Plugin 0.80 is compatible with QGIS 2.8 or higher (theoretically up to 2.99) only. Are there any plans to release an updated version for QGIS 3 yet?

Cheers, Florian

I'm sorry to say that this plugin is no longer maintained. Please use XYZ layer in QGIS core.

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Do you know if there is any chance to add local tiles using XYZ Tiles from QGIS core? This has been quite straightforward to realize via TileLayer Plugin as it required a local .tsv file with meta info about the data to be displayed only. When I copy & paste the file:///... URL from the .tsv file (that works with TileLayer Plugin in QGIS 2.18) into XYZ Tiles and adjust the zoom levels accordingly, no data is shown at all.

I tried it just now, but it doesn't work. This question also says that the XYZ tile layer doesn't work with the file protocol.

I am well aware that this must sound like a greenhorn's question, not least because I am not into QGIS plugin development, but how much effort would be required to re-establish compatibility between TileLayer and the latest QGIS version? As you confirmed, the built-in XYZ Tiles tool does not work with local {z}/{x}/{y} tile structures – I (and certainly also a good number of other QGIS users, see eg. https://github.com/minorua/TileLayerPlugin/issues/29) consider this a major advantage of TileLayer as it didn't require the user to setup a local Apache server or find whatever solution.

[minorua]

It must be simplest way to improve the QGIS XYZ tile provider (wms provider) so that it can read tiles in local file system. Only a few small changes are required to do it (e.g. condition about HTTP status code - I guess).

has anyone methods to solve the problem that can't load local file into xyz tile?

@Mariosmsk ur example doesn't work for me. I use QGIS 3.2 on windows 7 x64.

I try it, put the file on 'd:\tile\g\' fold, and edit ' file:///D:/tile/g/{z}/{x}/{y}.png ' but the qgis wms warning is 2019-02-10T23:09:54 WARNING Tile request error (Status: ; Content-Type: ; Length: 115315; URL: file:///d:/tile/g/10/855/429.png)

@lennoo, I have used QGIS version 3.4.4-Madeira Windows 7 x64

Add local XYZ tiles is easily done: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/19729#note-2

Hi Landast2020, the QTiles plugin is not the TileLayer plugin.

Hi Landast2020, the QTiles plugin is not the TileLayer plugin.

I entered the downloaded tiles using xyz tiles, now I want to select a specific area and get the MBtile output. How do I do this? In the Save as menu, how do I add the Column and Row numbers? How many zoom sizes?

What does the Create VRT option do?
