The way it's implemented now, the node tool is the most convenient way of moving a point in a point layer. One click, as opposed to two steps, selecting a point and then using the move tool to move it. On 8/01/19 9:02 PM, Havard Tveite wrote: I agree that disabling the vertex tool for point

We have a tool ("Move Features") for moving a geometry. For consistency, that tool should be used also for moving points. A new tool ("Move feature part") would eliminate the need for overloading the "Vertex Tool". The "Vertex Tool" would then be used only for modifying the shape of lines

On point layers, I was always thinking of points being composed of a single node. On multi point layers, I was thinking of each part being composed of a single node, so I wasn't thinking of "either a node or a point" but both. With this concept in mind, the whole set of available tools works fine

I agree that disabling the vertex tool for point layers is a good idea. It will improve consistency and avoid confusion. A separate tool for moving a part of a multi-geometry would be useful. Håvard On 08. jan. 2019 07:53, Bernhard Ströbl wrote: Hi Saber, Delete a single point (part) in a

Hi Saber, Delete a single point (part) in a multi-point layer with remove part tool (as you would with e.g. a multi-polygon layer). Move single point in a multi-point layer: There is no option to move a part in a multi-line or multi-polygon layer either (or I am not aware of it). Why is it

It would in fact, be desirable if the accidental removal of the last node did not result in a feature being deleted, IMO. On 8/01/19 4:25 AM, DelazJ wrote: Hi Micha, The Node Tool is not meant to remove features, but to edit/remove their geometries. Your feature persists in your dataset

Hi Bernhard, How about multi-point layer? All the features will move/delete with the other tools. Regards Saber On Mon, 7 Jan 2019 at 15:55, Bernhard Ströbl wrote: > Maybe the node tool shouldn't be available when editing a point layer? > Anything one may want to do with points can be done

Maybe the node tool shouldn't be available when editing a point layer? Anything one may want to do with points can be done using the other tools (move, delete part). I was always wondering why it is there because AFAIU nodes are not individual features, they only exist as part of a line or

Hi Micha, The Node Tool is not meant to remove features, but to edit/remove their geometries. Your feature persists in your dataset through their attributes and you can later use the "Add part" tool to create a new geometry.

Hi Micha, hm - interesting. I have to say that deleting features by using the node tools seems a bit "unconventional" to me. There is a "delete features" tool, which is meant to be used to delete features. The node tools serves a different purpose: to remove nodes. I am not sure it is well

Hi Alex: Linux Mint 19 gdal 2.2.3 QGIS 3.4.3 Just out of curiosity, I did the same on a debian buster machine (QGIS 2.18) and found the same: deleting vertices (with the node tool) on a point vector layer does not delete the attribute rows.

I have found that after deleting some points in both a shapefile and a geopackage layer, the attribute rows remain in the table (with null geometry). Is this expected? I'm using 3.4.3, and I don't remember that being so in earlier versions. I removed the
