<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>Hello
List,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>I've created
a simple plugin that allows to view the structure of a shapefile (X-, Y-coords
alongside its attributes) and while at it I've also added the capability to edit
the geometry and attributes and save back to the shapefile.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN
class=390003021-24082010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>A corollary
is that if you want to add a point by typing its coords you can do it with the
plugin (as André aka ALT SHN has suggested). You can even create a new shapefile
in QGIS and use the plugin to type in coords and attributes or paste them from
the clipboard.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>Points, lines
and polygons shapefiles can be manipulated.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>BUT, I feel
it is a quite dangerous plugin to release in a public repo because of the
potential damages bad edits can do on a shapefile!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=390003021-24082010>I would thus
be very grateful if the most intrepid amongst you could test it and give
comments on its usefulness...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
