The dialog you have is a system file<br>> dialog with a filter showing only file extensions you selected. Arcview 3.2<br>> acted in the same way. <br>> What you are asking for is replacing standard file dialog with a gis browser<br>> dialog. That is good from a user point of view. <br>> IMHO it's to early since many file types are supported by gdal in QGIS, but<br>> not yet interpreted by Browser tool. I would keep OGR file dialog as it is<br>> for advanced users, who like to have a raw view on system files, and future<br>> unified access to datasource in brower style.<br>> Opinions?<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --<br>> View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Rename-through-add-vector-file-tp5045300p5045553.html<br>> Sent from the Quantum GIS - Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Qgis-developer mailing list<br>> Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org<br>> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer<br></div> </div></body>
