[Qgis-developer] AW: [QGIS Commit] possible Bug in Edit tools?

[Hugentobler Marco]

Hi Till,

Nice to see people using the digitizing tools.

The problem with the deleted dbf file is in fact hard to reproduce. QGIS uses the GDAL/OGR library to write to shapefiles/dbf. So I guess the problem might be in GDAL library or in your network configuration. 

The crash with the wrong symbology file is already in track (#1032).

Thanks for reporting these issues,
Marco

Betreff: [QGIS Commit] possible Bug in Edit tools?
 
Hi Qgiszzer!

I found a possible bug in the digitizing tools, have no access to Qgis 
trac and so I report it here (which is
better than doing nothing I guess)

Environment:
Ubuntu newest LKTS (from last week) and Qgis 0.10 release

What happened?
When digitizing into a shapefile and then saving edits, we had 
situations where
QGIS deleted the dbf file from the shapefile. So all edits were lost.

I know the next sentence is not really helpful, but **this happened 
sometimes but not always **
- and I can' say WHEN it happened and I was not able to reproduce this.

Some ideas:
1. One possible reason might be that we saved the digitized shapes on a 
network drive
(although every user had all rights on his/her file)

2 Another reason might have been, that the subfolder had a blank in the 
name (I know: ugly error and the person
who created that got the chop yesterday ;-) )

One question pointing into the solution might be: Does QGis always 
rewritew the whole file when saving edits?
So there might be networking problems as a reason...

We switched to editing directly into postgis, so the problem did not 
appear again.

Best regards from Germany and:
Thanks to everybody involved in Qgis development and especialy in these 
editing tools!

Ahh stop, I have another one....
When loading a style originally created from a shapefile onto a 
postgis-vector (which has the same structure)
Qgis crashes faster than I can look when clicking "apply" - always ;-)
