Default size of polygon

[mutipg]

Is it possible to permanently set my own default polygon size? Or maybe it would be possible to add a checkbox to the window with the 'Remember these settings' option?

I have forked this project and implemented a drop-down menu for preset sizes, with options to save and label your own presets.
My version also supports floats, has the dimensions in the toolbar, and rotates the rectangles using the mouse wheel when shift is held.
If the layer has a field rotation the angle is saved to the field. Height and width will also be saved if there is an appropriate field.

you can install from zip from here: https://codeload.github.com/Tirpitz93/QRectangleCreator/zip/refs/heads/master

I installed your version and the appearance of the plugin has changed, I have the option to save new settings, but despite entering different rectangle sizes or selecting them from the list, the plugin still draws a rectangle with dimensions as in the picture. Changing the preset from the list does not change the dimensions in the text fields either.

Interesting, it was working on my machine yesterday, I will check when I get home

Is there any console output when you open the python console in QGIS or if you run QGIS from commandline in the terminal window?

Managed to check on my VM

The plugin actually works fine with QGIS 3.34.6-Prizren. I tried earlier on QGIS 3.16 and it still doesn't work there. Time to switch to a newer QGIS release. Thanks for a great solution to my problem with saving my own frame template!

I think I know where the issue is, I have now fixed, would you be able to test in the old version. (master branch)
I used thenew(ish) |= operator, but I can make it more version tolerant

It seems that the plugin works fine in QGIS 3.16.16-Hannover as well. There is some problem with managing dimension templates but after adding my size I can select it from the top of the list (there is some duplicate at the bottom that does not change the frame size). Newer QGIS has the same problem.

Now it is really great. Below is a video from QGIS 3.16.16-Hannover

Thanks again for your support!

@Tirpitz93, is it difficult to add information for your fork in the plugin metadata? Currently, the plugin from the official repository and your fork are the same in the plugin list.

• Official repository:
  
• Your fork

I have updated the meta data now.
I have also tried to get it on the plugin Repo but their ingest server errors out
