Re: [Qgis-user] shapefile .cpg ignored

Weird. When this feature was introduced in GDAL/OGR some time ago, we got a lot of complaints because OGR and QGIS both tried to do the encoding. I assume this doesn't happen any more (at least I didn't notice). So it was decided to let QGIS do the job (as it was before), Then Qgis itself has to respect the encoding declaration (which I think always exists if the shapefile was created with current Qgis). I consider this option as a bug. Thanks André for your comment. Redoute ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
