Option to copy coordinate in multiple CRS simultaneously #37562

Open nextstopsun opened 4 years ago

nextstopsun commented 4 years ago

Sadly, Coordinate Capture plugin is gone in 3.14. How does one copy coordinates in both Map CRS and Custom CRS? Could be done easily with Coordinate Capture, but a real problem now - you have to position cursor on the same point twice.

If there is an option to copy coordinates in both CRS in "Copy coordinate" context menu, life gets a lot easier.

This is some kind of a "planned regression", I don't like it either. https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/36693#issuecomment-643437679

That's a rather nice requirement, which would be best addressed by a 3rd party python plugin

FYI, the Coordinate Capture plugin is back for versions 3.14 and later, this time as a python plugin available through the plugin manager. Functionality is almost identical, except for separate buttons to copy user and map CRS coordinates.

Thanks, I'll try it. I'd still vote for it returning to core (as a separate panel in its previous state or as context menu option) because it seems like such a common GIS tool: getting cursor coordinates in a set CRS.
