[Qgis-user] Error - Qgis files getting corrupted after saving

[Hugh Kelley]

Glad it worked out!

As long as you rename every file in the shapefile renaming shoukd be fine.
Renaming just the .shp file will cause problems.

You might consider:

Thanks to whoever on this list shared that originally.
