Hi Alexander Good thought. If you are loading several files at the moment QGIS should remember the settings between files, so you only have to select them and add them, not redo the settings. But it is still a lot of clicks for each file.
It would be fairly easy to add multiple files. I guess you'd just use the first selected file in the preview and then take those settings for all the files. Only a couple of messy user interface things .. 1) Once a list of files are selected from browse buttin, how to display the selected file names in the text box. Would this become a drop down list? Or would we use a list of file names with a separator (and if so, what separator)? Should the text box allow wild card file names? There must be a precedent for this somewhere, just can't think of one straight away. 2) Handling of layer names for each file. Could just be the file name (which is the default layer name anyway). Could have some way of entering the filename into a string (eg <filename>). Whatever is used it should be consistent with the rest of QGIS (expression builder? not sure there is anywhere variables are used in this way), and obvious for the user... Any thoughts on this?

Now, if I want load many CSV file I should open them one by one, set settings and then load. I know, this can be implemented as script but not all users like scripting. -- Alexander Bruy This message contains information, which is confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.
