Hi all,
When creating attributes for new vector layers the Type drop-down list shows 
three options: Text data, Whole number, Decimal number. However, the attributes 
list displays these as String, Integer and Real. I have found that new users of 
QGIS find this slightly confusing. Could I offer two possible suggestions?
1. In the Type drop-down list rather show the options as: Text data (String), 
Whole number (Integer), Decimal number (Real). In this way users familiar with 
either nomenclature can understand what type of atribute is being created.
2. Another option would be to standardise both the drop-down list and the 
atributes list so that they use either one or the other nomenclature.
I prefer option 1. Any thoughts?
Frank.
