WKTBulkLoader

A QGIS plugin to bulk load WKT files. Give it a directory and it will load all the .wkt files in it.

To Install

git clone https://github.com/siddjain/wkt-plugin.git

then

On Mac

cd to WKTBulkLoader folder and from there run

make deploy

This will build doc transcompile and install the plugin to the plugins directory. If you get an error about sphinx, maybe you don't have it on your system. You can install it by doing

sudo pip install sphinx

Do not brew install sphinx as it installs some other software

On Windows

First, you need to determine the plugins directory. When I installed QGIS on Windows 7, my plugins directory was /c/Users/siddjain/.qgis2. Run following commands from MinGW prompt adjusting the paths as necessary:

mkdir $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins
mkdir $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader
cp -vf *.py $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader
cp -vf *.ui $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader
cp -vf *.txt $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader
cp -vf *.png $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader
cp -vfr i18n $HOME/.qgis2/python/plugins/WKTBulkLoader 

Development Notes

You may need to add following directories to your paths

export PATH="/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH"
export PYTHONPATH="/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python"

e.g., pyrcc4 is in /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/bin and the /Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python will be needed to import PyQt4

If you already have something in PYTHONPATH, add it instead with:

export PYTHONPATH="/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/Resources/python:$PYTHONPATH”
