    <p>Ah, I had tried it in the first line always and had no issues.
      That explains it.<br>
    </p>
    <p>As an ugly workaround I guess you could use a "AND NOT 'this is a
      comment'" (or without the NOT depending how you use it). Don't
      blame me if this ends up causing issues in 2 years or something ;)<br>

              <p>In short: comments with shape files did not (do not

                      <p>Hi Hugh,</p>
                      <p>that depends on the provider in use, a PostGIS
