[Qgis-developer] Rename through add vector file

[Antonio Locandro]

What you say makes sense I remember the old days of ArcView 3.2; heck I used it 8 years ago when I started using GIS. Not good comparing QGIS with what a GIS system did back in 1999 when it first came out though

>From the user point of view, specially those who are basic users (which may be more than you think) being able to rename a file and then corrupt it is not a good thing, plus I think the only special case is shapefiles right? I think it is the only file that needs renaming *.dbf *.shx *.prj *.qpj Not sure if this is easy to implement or not but it would be  a nice to have feature. On another note, why is it the only format you can create new is a shapefile? What if I really want to create a KML or GML?
