#2292 closed bug (fixed)

qgis saves .SHP file as .shp

Reported by: Barryrowlingson Owned by: nobody
Priority: major: does not work as expected Milestone: Version 1.5.0
Component: Data Provider Version: Trunk
Keywords: Cc: warmerdam
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: Unix
Platform Version: Awaiting user input: no

Description

Load polygonal shapefile FOO.SHP (with FOO.DBF, FOO.SHX etc). Enable editing. Select two features and use Merge Selected Features. Disable editing and save changes. Qgis gives you FOO.shp, FOO.shx and FOO.dbf alongside your original files.

Just moving nodes around doesn't do this, but deleting a feature does, so I suspect it's whenever the structure changes and the whole shapefile needs rewriting....

Probably a Unixy case-sensitive file system problem only.

Looks like OGR's REPACK command causes that.

Fixed in OGR now

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

As it seems to be fixed in OGR (gdal 1.6.4), I guess that this bug can be marked as FIX cause it is not QGis related...

It will be fixed when you will get a new version of GDAL in your distribution !
