[09:35:19]<ludwa6[m]>So close, and yet so far! Would so like to have this working; wish there was some way i could help, but it is beyond my ken, alas.... Still, i do appreciate the work you put in, symbioquine to get this far with it. Thanks for sharing that well-organised & documented repo! 🙏
[11:34:40]<symbioquine[m]>Yeah ludwa6 I think the changes actually would work as-is given a COG with the `EPSG:3857` [SRS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_reference_system), but it would probably disappoint most users if they can't bring an existing COG with other SRSs and have it "just work".
[11:37:03]<ludwa6[m]>symbioquine[m]: oh, well... It's been awhile since i messed with CRS stuff, but i think i can kick out a map from QGIS in any CRS that's needed for compatibility
[11:37:26]<ludwa6[m]>One Q: does a single GeoTIFF image actually encode a CRS?
[11:37:38]<symbioquine[m]>I believe so
[11:38:39]<symbioquine[m]>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoTIFF
[11:40:18]<symbioquine[m]>Part of the problem with the change I was working on is that I didn't have an example COG in `EPSG:3857`. Like I said before; the change may be nearly ready to go (with a bit of cleanup) as-is for those.
[11:40:44]<symbioquine[m]>If somebody comes up with a sample like that, I can test the changes and we can potentially proceed with the limited functionality version...
[11:40:58]<symbioquine[m]>Then support for different SRSs could come later.
[11:41:29]<ludwa6[m]>So: if i can get GeoTIFF of my farm out of QGIS in EPSG:3857, you think you can work w/ that?
[11:42:19]<symbioquine[m]>It may be a bit more specific than that - in that it *does* need to be a "Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF" (COG)
[11:42:44]<symbioquine[m]>ludwa6[m]: but broadly, yes
[11:43:47]<symbioquine[m]>Alternatively, when I get back to this, I might try to manufacture my own example from one of the publicly available ones by changing the SRS and publishing it somewhere.
[11:44:30]<ludwa6[m]>symbioquine[m]: 👍️ ok: i'll need a stiff coffee to start fresh in the morning (getting late in the day for this kinda work) to get my head back into QGIS... But i will give it my best shot!
