Hi Nathan,<br>
<br>
I understand your point.<br>
<br>
But this would require more steps: add the layer to the project,
copy the features (with field mapping) and remove the layer.<br>
I see a main usage of appending to an existing layer in the import
of GPS points for example. So mainly csv files. <br>
It's true that there could be a great interest for shape files.<br>
<br>
The point is that I can use the existing header of the table in the
demilited text UI to do the field mapping. So, it should not be a
great effort to do so.<br>
<br>
It's clear that there is no a great cohesion with all these add
layers dialogs and I don't want to add more confusion to this.<br>
But is there any plan to improve this?<br>

Being able to supply a layer to layer mapping would be even
better in case the fields don't match.</div>

<br>
I have the intention to add the possibility of importing
features from a CSV into an existing layer.<br>
My idea is to use the existing dialog "Create a layer from a
delimited text file" and to add the choice "create a layer"
or "append to an existing layer".<br>
<br>
First of all, is anyone already doing something similar?<br>
<br>
Second, if anyone already thought about this and has some
ideas to share, they're welcome!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
