My question is about QGIS 1.8 georeferencer plugin.

I installed the new version of QGIS (1.8) but I don't have the georeferencer plugin, how do I install it?

I used the georeferencing plugin with QGIS 1.6 and now that I've upgraded to 1.8 I'd like to use it again, but it's not available! Am I doing something wrong?

I've gone to Plugins > Manage Plugins. I've searched for Georeferencer, but there were no results.

please follow below steps:

  1. Click "Plugins" --> "Manage Plugins"
  2. Search "Georeferencer GDAL" in the Filter and Enable the plugin by tick the box
  3. Click "OK"
  4. Click "Raster" and you are able to use the Georeferencer Tool.

It seems that QGIS need to load each external plugin so you can find it in the menu bar.

It should be available where you looked in Plugins>Manage Plugins. If it isn't you could try Plugins>Fetch Python Plugins.

  • opening tells me though that has problems with ftools because there is an outdated plugin installed with an older version, but I don't think this is the problem ...

  • @jacpo: A repository is the location where all the official plugins are stored and that is where you should be able to download the plugin you are looking for. The Official repository is at plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml and you should see it listed when you go to Plugins>Fetch Python Plugins and then look at the Repositories tab. If it is not listed the click on ADD and paste the URL above into URL field. Give the Repository a name, "Official Repository" will do. Then click OK. That will give you a connection to the Official Repository. Fetch the plugin you want from there.

    Georeferencer isn't a python plugin. It's a C++ plugin which comes with every default install.
