[Qgis-user] RE: Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin

[Benoit de Cabissole]

Maxim,

Thanks for the suggestions.
I will work toward implementing them in the next couple of weeks, depending on other priorities.

I've also noticed the row height problem, I'm using default Qt settings, so, some tweaking is required...

Cheers,
Benoit
