And confirmed with some internal datasets. (that said, I can understand why you would want to save the joined file, but generally I use this as an intermediate step.) -ramon.___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

I also tried removing the X column from the dbf file, but the error moved to the next field with nulls (GMI_CNTRY), which was a string. I'm a little puzzled why a null value would be a problem if the file did save successfully. -ramon.___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] JOIN error
I use Properties/JOINS to join a dbf table to a vector layer (fields ISO and ISO3 respectively). The Join works, but I get the following error when I try to save the vector layer as a new shapefile: Export to vector file failed. Error: Feature write errors: Invalid variant type for field X[11]: received void with type Invalid variant type for field X[11]: received void with type (many times repeated) Only 24 of 246 features written. The new layer is actually written (despite claiming "Export to vector failed") but only those countries with data in the dbf are available Instead, the old Vector/Data Management Tools/Join Attributes works fine. I suggest having that part of the Vector plugin back, even if redundant, until we reach operational equivalence. I provide the layer and dbf: https://sites.google.com/site/filestemp2/home/wrld_simpl.zip https://sites.google.com/site/filestemp2/home/owlslive.dbf I'm using 1.7.3 from ubuntigis-unstable binaries for ubuntu 10.04 Thanks, Agus ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

A detailed changelog is available on our home page[1]. I'd just like to say that the ongoing support and bug-fixing for the current version is great. Knowing that updates are coming out, without "rocking the boat" with new features each time makes for a much more dependable application, and enhances, in my opinion, the reputation of QGIS.

Re: FW: [Qgis-user] problems with layers from one source
Two things to keep in mind: - When the option "Settings>Options>CRS>Coordinate reference system for new layers" is set to "Use project CRS" or "Use default CRS...", any layers you add which don't come with CRS information will _look in QGIS_ like they have the same CRS... except that they won't all show up in the same place on the map. - In at least some recent versions of QGIS (and perhaps depending on the render caching setting or something), when you change the CRS of a layer the map is not automatically refreshed. You need to do something to force it to be refreshed - zoom or pan slightly, or add a layer or something. (And of course the layers will stay in the same location if you do not have 'on the fly' reprojection enabled in the project properties... which is different from enabling it by default for new projects).
