<br>
I am trying to add a point file (.shp) to a project.
<br>
I get this dialog:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/kUtkF8R1FdsBZTNW7">https://photos.app.goo.gl/kUtkF8R1FdsBZTNW7</a>
<br>
<br>
If I choose any of the :Geometry Type" options the file is added
but not points are not displayed.
<br>
<br>
The data source is here:

<p>Maybe you are confusing between creating a new layer and adding
an existing layer??</p>

<p>FYI - with the newer versions of QGIS you can "drag and drop" a
zip file that contains all the components of a shapefile right
onto the map canvas. QGIS knows how to open the zip internally.</p>
