Hi all

After a brief conversation with a couple of people on Twitter I was wondering 
what the community's thoughts were on the following:

Adding a button into Joins section/tab under Layer Properties that would enable 
a user to join a tabular dataset (csv, txt etc) to an existing layer in QGIS. 
You can do this at present, by first brining in a Delimited Text Layer and then 
running the join, but I think that adding this button would make it 
easier/quicker for a user to join tabular data in QGIS. I'd especially see this 
being useful with datasets that have a geographic reference column i.e. a 
postcode column, but no geospatial co-ordinate reference system (Easting and 
Northing). I would also add that this is a similar function to what is 
available in most commercial GIS packages...

I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions before raising as a feature request (if 
deemed a good idea!)

Thanks

Steve
