2326	Define Current Projection in fTools fails	micha	cfarmer	"When adding a shapefile which does not have a *.prj attached, QGIS determines the CRS for that layer either by the Global CRS (in Settings->Options->CRS) or by the user choosing the CRS.
In order to then add the correct *.prj file to that shapefile, the fTools ""Define Current Projection"" should be used. However, the tool fails with the error: ""Identical output coordinate reference system"". 
In other words, you '''cannot''' create a *.prj for a shapefile when the CRS chosen on loading the shapefile is the same CRS that should be saved to the *.prj. 

Correct behavior should be: [[BR]]

Once the shapefile is loaded (and it's CRS is known to QGIS by either of the above options) the ""Define current projection"" should just output a correct *.prj based on the CRS chosen by the user, with nothing more than an information window saying:[[BR]]
 ""Creating a *.prj file for xxxx.shp based on CRS...."" [[BR]]
