[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.4.4 add ellipse

[Janneke van Dijk]

Ok, I have no idea what went wrong the first time - I just ended up with 
lots of graphics and no records in tables - but starting a new project, 
creating a new geopackage with regular polygon as geometry type the tool 
now works as I expected - geometries and records are added to the 
attribute table. Sorry for the noise. It's a great tool!
