[Qgis-developer] UPDATE: New Plugin - Edit Any Layer
This plugin has now been uploaded to http://plugins.qgis.org/ and is awaiting approval (thanks Paolo). Changelog: * New icon * Added comment to dialogue window * Changed menu entry to Edit Any Layer - Create Editable Layer... Alister, thanks for the suggestions but, although the name Copy as memory layer would explain _what_ the plugin does, I will stick with Edit Any Layer as this explains _why_ you would want to run the plugin. I have also not added an option to copy selected items only (and this is low priority as this feature is in QGIS core UI).

This plugin is hosted at [1], if you like I will move it to a more permanent location. thanks for this. of course the right place for it is http://plugins.qgis.org/ from there, everybody can install and check it. looking forward to see it there. all the best. +1 Do you think you can host in through the qgis plugins repo referenced by Paolo?

Re: [Qgis-developer] plugin dev - save to ogr vector file
Correction: Sextante doesn't solve my problem as the fTools algorithms are still restricted to saving to ESRI shapefiles only (well the centroids algorithm I tested was).

What I am trying to do is adapt the fTools plugin so that it can save to any ogr verctor file format. The reason behind this is that I found the ESRI shapefile format to be restrictive (eg attribute values are limited to 254 chars - 80 in QGIS??). that would be a very welcome addition, thanks. please note that fTools are now incorporated also in Sextante plugin. The plugin also saves by default in shp, but users can select other formats as well. could this solve your problem? all the best. -- Sounds like this solves my problem.:-) Is it worth spending a few moments to bring qgis online documentation up to date?
