Re: [Qgis-user] Copy field definitions from one vector layer to another?

ok, you are right. You can import your shapfiles into spatialite using dbmanager, then copy the definitions of the first layer, add column to the other layer and then export to shapefile. Luca 2015-10-22 5:17 GMT+02:00 Richard Males : > The join works without a common field

Re: [Qgis-user] Copy field definitions from one vector layer to another?

The join works without a common field of any kind, which is what I wanted, but unfortunately the field names get prefixed with the join layer. When I export as shape file from the joined layer, I get field names like 'exported', 'exported_1', etc. So I don't think the join will work, since

Re: [Qgis-user] Copy field definitions from one vector layer to another?

why do you need the same geometry type in order to make a join ? You just need one common field. Luca 2015-10-19 21:44 GMT+02:00 Joris Hintjens : > I’d try “join layers” if they are the same geometry type > > Joris > > Op 17-okt.-2015, om 11:40 heeft Luca Lanteri

You can make a join and then save as layer I have been looking for a capability (plugin or native QGIS) that will easily copy the field definitions (not the attribute data) from one layer to another layer. To date I have not found it, I may be missing something obvious. Any help/advice much

On second reading of what you are looking for, The Table Manager plugin, may not be what you need. On 15/10/2015 19:29, Richard Males wrote: I have been looking for a capability (plugin or native QGIS) that will easily copy the field definitions (not the attribute data) from one layer to

Re: [Qgis-user] Copy field definitions from one vector layer to another?

This might work: 1. Make an empty copy of the layer with the attributes. 2. Select all objects of the layer with the geometries. 3. Copy and paste the selected objects into the empty layer. Goyo 2015-10-15 20:29 GMT+02:00 Richard Males : > I have been looking for a

I have been looking for a capability (plugin or native QGIS) that will easily copy the field definitions (not the attribute data) from one layer to another layer. To date I have not found it, I may be missing something obvious. Any help/advice much appreciated. I have a layer with a bunch of
