qgis: osm and sextante toolboxes not found

[hamish]

Hi,

I've just updated the qgis quickstart for 2.0, and the SEXTANTE and OpenStreetMap toolboxes mentioned in the quickstart are no where to be found.

Has the SEXTANTE toolbox been renamed the "Processing toolbox"? or..?

if no news I'll just drop those two sections.

also, a dead link at the end of the quickstart page:

Sextante has been renamed to Processing.

Processing is included in the default QGIS 2.0 installation. The OSM plugin is obsolete for QGIS 2.0 ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/QGIS_OSM_Plugin

So this part needs a port to QGIS 2.0.

Fixed Sextante part in [11290]

osm part rewritten in r11306, needs review.

unfortunately it's not nearly as simple as the old way, but good to know how to do it.

Replying to kalxas:

The OSM plugin is obsolete for QGIS 2.0

I think it is better to describe the OSM plugin as not present in qgis 2.0 because it is buggy. It's still better than the current alternative (if it were working), and "obsolete" indicates it's been replaced by something better. I would hope it gets fixed one day and returns, as it was kinda nice. (seems to be a 32bit/64bit issue, the OSM db exceeded 32bit space some months back)

shrug, Hamish

Hamish, I have reviewed the new text, it seems ok. I will move this to 8.0

Since the documentation is fixed, there is no point to leave this ticket in major status.
