[Qgis-user] vector gpx layer is not always refreshing

[Donald Harter]

I am using qis to edit tracks of a GPS file.   Usually I want to delete 
extraneous tracks from the layer.
I import the layer as a vector gpx file. If I import the gpx file and it 
has more than one track (<trk> </trk>) then the indiviual points will 
not show up when I open the attribute table. I just get 2 elements which 
are the 2 tracks composed each of multiple segments.  If I put all the 
trackpoints in one track in one file, then I can see the points in the 
attribute table.

To edit the gpx file, I have been opening it in a text editor and making 
changes.  Then I will see how the display is affected. Sometimes I can 
update it by turning on and off the vector layer.  I read on here that 
ctlr-r will refresh the screen.  Both do not always work.  This last 
time I had to exit qgis and restart it to see my updates.

I am using qis 1.7.4-Wroclaw, gdal/ogr version 1.90, postgresql client 
9.0.3, spatialite 2.40, qwt 5.2.2, qt 4.7.1
