Another bug report (or feature request?) here: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17220
When I create metadata for a Geopackage layer, they are apparently not saved Le jeudi 28 septembre 2017, Stéphane Henriod <s...@henriod.info> a écrit : > Feature request here: https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17217 > > Cheers > Stéphane > > > Le jeudi 28 septembre 2017, Alessandro Pasotti <apaso...@gmail.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','apaso...@gmail.com');>> a écrit : > >> >> On Thu, Sep 28, 2017 at 1:56 PM, Stéphane Henriod <s...@henriod.info> wrote: >> >>> Hi again Alessandro >>> >>> One short feedback already (2.99): when I *right-click - Create new >>> database* in the browser, I still need to specify a new layer as well. >>> Would be great to be able to create an empty database as well >>> >>> I don't see this as a bug, so not sure if opening a ticket is necessary? >>> >> >> >> No, it's not a bug: I just recycled the pre-existing dialog to create >> geopackages (with at least one layer), my changes were limited to pre-fill >> the path to the existing DB when opened from an existing connection. >> >> You can fill a ticket as an enhancement, I agree that it would be >> desireable to be able to create an empty gpkg, BTW the easy workaround here >> is to create a single layer and immediately delete id with a right-click >> from the browser. >> >> Cheers >> >> >> >>> Cheers >>> >>> Stéphane >>> >>> >>> Le jeudi 28 septembre 2017, Stéphane Henriod <s...@henriod.info> a écrit : >>> >>>> Wow, that sounds great!
