That is a bit hard to do with shapefiles in any case, because they do not keep the fids natively as far as I have undestood. If you remove a feature from a shapefile, all features coming after that in order will get a new fid during save. Fixed fids are easier to acquire from databases, but OJ does not support editing database layers. I am not sure what could be a good solution for you, else than making read/write database connector to OJ. Perhaps reading features from a well configured WFS server attaching proper and stable FIDs (means probably database backend in practice), and modifying WFS plugin to copy FID to a normal attribute as well? -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ jump-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/jump-users
