comment I don't seem to be able to save Layer Styles in QGIS
The easiest way to get 1.9 is via the OSGEO4W installer.

It is clearly a permissions problem then. Not sure what else to say if you have confirmed permissions. Can you try to run QGIS as an administrator and see if that works?

comment I don't seem to be able to save Layer Styles in QGIS
I just tried here as both .sld and .qml and it worked fine. Can you try in 1.9 and/or an older version? Does it work on another computer?

Do you have write access to the drive/folder you are trying to save the styles to?

What version of QGIS are you using? Have you changed versions since it last worked?

Have you tried that exact same raster on another computer, and had it work?

comment GRASS v.db.update Concatenate Fields
Thanks Micha! Apparently somewhere in my combination of things, I missed this one. I went back and forth between using 'qcolumn' and 'value' and apparently didn't try all possibilities with both!

comment GRASS v.db.update Concatenate Fields
I should note I am using SQLLite backend, and was able to perform the operation directly in the database using exactly the syntax I expected (using simple || between field names). It would still be interesting to know how to do it in GRASS though, for future reference.

comment GDAL/OGR Determine if dataset is raster or vector
Could you not check the file extension before doing anything else?

comment QGIS regular points around each polygon in a layer (vs ALL polygons)
I'm not sure exactly how to automate this. Perhaps you could 'loop' it somehow in Python? Maybe someone else can help out with a pythonic solution?

comment Can I add WMS layers to a MapGuide 6.5 map?
Thanks Brad. It does appear that it is not possible unless liteview is used. Marking your question as the answer.

comment Getting Field value for a given coordinate out of ESRI Shapefile using GDAL/OGR
Ah, sorry. I didn't realize it had to be a 'background' job. In that case, I second Mike Toews PostGIS suggestion.

comment Buffer with physical barrier
Sorry; Split in the ESRI world I guess. I was using 'intersect' in a generic sense. To deal with the parts overlapping other points, you could transfer attributes from the points back to the result of your intersect, and delete all the features where the point ID from the transfer and the point ID from the original buffer are not the same. Hard to explain, but the concept should work.

comment Stats problem, QGIS heatmap
Geotiff should not be the issue, no. When you try the stretch in greyscale, does it colour the values differently? Or is everything greater than 2 still being symbolized the same?

comment Stats problem, QGIS heatmap
Mike; check the properties. Go to the "Style" tab, then "Contrast Enhancement" - set to "Stretch to MinMax"

Matt T: does the merged directory get created? Is there a file in it?

comment Import polylines and polygons into QGIS from CSV
If you have full control of the output, perhaps you could write the data into well known text or .kml or .gml, all of which you could use in QGIS? What format do you ultimately want the data in?
