Nice! this will help a lot with actual 1.8 in production environnement here. may I suggest a more explicit title for an eventual new version? I would vote for adding that in core vector menu for 2.1.. Régis -- View this message in context:

Thanks Vincent, you are right. We already discussed that with Chris on the list. The problem is that it is restricted to CSV again, and that it creates a separate datasource. We could also think of extending VRT to all datatypes in OGR, and have a GUI letting user to generate and load that VRT.

Hey Regis, I think a Layer - Create Geometry Layer menu item would be a great idea for non geometry layers. Wouldn't be that hard to do I don't think. Sqlite might be the best format as it's light and flexible. If you want something dynamic i.e change the data, updates the points, then maybe

I don't think VRT would work because not all QGIS data sources are OGR based so VRT wouldn't work in that case. A special type of layer, e.g plugin, IMO would be best for this. Something that just reads the feature from the underlying layer and adds the geometry on the fly. - Nathan On Mon,

Hi all, After some training courses here, a very common use case is not satisfied easily: The only entry to create geometry from text (XY or WKT) is the delimited text plugin. It appears that having a separate fonction create point like in Mapinfo or Arcgis would be really handy, and could
