Re: [Qgis-user] cannot save my layer data...???

2014-03-22 Thread Kevin Caldwell
Hi  -thanks so much for the ideas.  

The save worked...but apparently whatever error I caused to a couple of the 
polygons means they can't now be split, merged, etc...will just send the file 
to a friend to help repair.  I'm still a hack / newbie w/ QGIS and I was only 
entering attribute data so I have no clue how to 'repair' the affected polys - 
QGIS doesn't seem to offer any stock advice on that.

Save the layer into a new shapefile. Re-open what you have changed now and
compare with your back-up copy. Perhaps you can save some work with copy-paste.

It feels like your previous save has been at least partially successful
because some features have been deleted but on QGIS side the deletion has
not been confirmed. Let's hope that at least part of inserts and edits have
been actually saved also.

I don't have a solution rather than exiting without saving, but saving 
before deleting a feature is always a good practise.

2014-03-21 Thread Kevin Caldwell
I'm having a serious error I've never seen before on trying to save a large 
polygon file with either 'save layer edits" or on 'toggle' of my shapefile.   
There are 100s of polygons within a 5000 acre tract, so I'm really hoping this 
has a solution.   I'm getting these errors: 

1) Commit errors: Could not commit changes to layer BCW_natcoms_1-31-2014 - 
this occurs in the upper band of the field of view 

2) (On clicking "show more" in this error note I get:  

"Could not commit changes to layer BCW_natcoms_1-31-2014

Errors: ERROR: 21 feature(s) not deleted.

Does anyone know how I can save this file?  I've done literally hours of work 
and have saved somewhat recently but this last round of edits would appear to 
be lost if I cannot save this.   

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.
