<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hi all<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">After a brief conversation with a couple of people on Twitter I was wondering what the community’s thoughts were on the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Adding a button into Joins section/tab under Layer Properties that would enable a user to join a tabular dataset (csv, txt etc) to an existing layer in QGIS. You can do this at present, by
first brining in a Delimited Text Layer and then running the join, but I think that adding this button would make it easier/quicker for a user to join tabular data in QGIS. I’d especially see this being useful with datasets that have a geographic reference
column i.e. a postcode column, but no geospatial co-ordinate reference system (Easting and Northing). I would also add that this is a similar function to what is available in most commercial GIS packages...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I’d appreciate any comments/suggestions before raising as a feature request (if deemed a good idea!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
