Hello,

I've hit a issue in Qgis that I'm struggling to resolve, and I'm hoping that 
someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I have 12 point geometry data sets and 12 csv files. Each csv file contain the 
attributes for one of the point data sets - there are exactly the same number 
of records in each point / csv pair:
Points1.shp:
-- point 1 UID
-- point 2 UID
..
-- point 980 UID

Attributes1.csv:
-- record 1 (Point 1 UID, blah, blah, whatever)
-- record 2 (Point 2 UID, blah, blah, whatever)
...
-- record 980 (Point 980 UID, blah, blah, whatever)

I've loaded them all into Qgis and was hoping that I could join them as a batch 
process, so that I end up with 12 point geometry shapefiles, with each point 
associated with the equivalent record from the matching csv file.... I've had 
some success, in that the batch interface to join allows me to list the input 
layers, fields for the joins and the output file names very easily, but I can't 
work out how to preserve the geometry of the points. The only file type listed 
that I can save are DBF / XLSX / CSV / ODS files, which will only preserve the 
joined tables not the geometry.
Am I approaching this whole problem in the wrong way, or is there something 
very obvious that I've missed?
I'm using:

QGIS version

2.18.17

This particular workstation is running Ubuntu 18.04 on amd64 hardware.

Any suggestions welcomed - I know that for just 12 data sets I could probably 
have done the joins manually in the time it has taken to type this out, but I'm 
really curious as to whether there is a better way.
Cheers,
Sam
