Kestrel v0.1.1
Kestrel v0.1.1
Fixes opening files on network drives (UNC paths). Dropping a file from a share like
\server\share\data.gpkg now works — previously it failed as not-found because GDAL dropped
the server name from the path.
Kestrel is a desktop CRS/UTM sanity-checker for QGIS workflows: drop in a shapefile (zipped or
plain), GeoPackage, GeoJSON, or GeoTIFF and instantly see its CRS / UTM zone, real-world
location, and why a layer might not draw in QGIS.

Download (Windows 64-bit, no Python required)

shortcut and an uninstaller. - Kestrel-windows.zip - portable. Unzip anywhere and run Kestrel\Kestrel.exe.
Starts in about a second (one-folder build). Unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first
launch; choose More info then Run anyway.
