    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>It appears that the join attributes table found in the 2.18
      processing joins tables but not like the "Joins" found in the
      layer property.  You are right, there is no option to save as a
      shp file!!!!! Only database formats.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>Your best option is to use the field calculator in the point shp
      file and to create a new column with the geometries x and y.  
      Then you can join the table and save as a csv.  Then, reimport the
      csv and use the x and y to recreate the points geometry.<br>
    </p>
    <p>OR</p>
    <p>The problem is solved by using Qgis 3 where you can save as a
      .shp.</p>

                  <div>
                    <div>Hello,</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>I've hit a issue in Qgis that I'm struggling to
                      resolve, and I'm hoping that someone might be able
                      to point me in the right direction.</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>I have 12 point geometry data sets and 12 csv
                      files. Each csv file contain the attributes for
                      one of the point data sets - there are exactly the
                      same number of records in each point / csv pair:</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>Points1.shp:</div>
                    <div>-- point 1 UID</div>
                    <div>-- point 2 UID</div>
                    <div>..</div>
                    <div>-- point 980 UID</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>Attributes1.csv:</div>
                    <div>-- record 1 (Point 1 UID, blah, blah, whatever)</div>
                    <div>-- record 2 (Point 2 UID, blah, blah, whatever)</div>
                    <div>...</div>
                    <div>-- record 980 (Point 980 UID, blah, blah,
                      whatever)</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>I've loaded them all into Qgis and was hoping
                      that I could join them as a batch process, so that
                      I end up with 12 point geometry shapefiles, with
                      each point associated with the equivalent record
                      from the matching csv file.... I've had some
                      success, in that the batch interface to join
                      allows me to list the input layers, fields for the
                      joins and the output file names very easily, but I
                      can't work out how to preserve the geometry of the
                      points. The only file type listed that I can save
                      are DBF / XLSX / CSV / ODS files, which will only
                      preserve the joined tables not the geometry.</div>
                    <br>
                    <div>Am I approaching this whole problem in the
                      wrong way, or is there something very obvious that
                      I've missed?</div>
