<font face="Arial">Hi,<br>
ArcGis refugee using QGIS 1.8.0-Lisboa on Windows 7 64 bit.<br>
<br>
Trying to merge a quantity of (Ordnance Survey) height shapefiles
& QGIS crashes.<br>
<br>
I've read around and there seems to be a bug
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5962">http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5962</a>) but the thread was marked as
closed so I'm not sure what the situation is.<br>
<br>
It seems that it will work if there are .prj files, so as a
workaround I can create these.<br>
<br>
As I've got loads of shapefiles, to define the .prj for each is
not realistic (Vector>DataManagement Tools>Define Current
Projection). I've looked for a bulk process to create these but
without luck<br>
<br>
Do I need prj files & if so, how can I create a load of them?<br>
Thanks.<br>
