[Qgis-developer] shx missing

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
If the .shx file is missing for a given .shp, qgis will correctly complain and will
not load the shapefile. Apparently in other sw this issue is solved by rebuilding the
shx[0] (it seems a common problem for CAD users, for instance[1]).
Would it be feasible for qgis to have the same option? I do not think it is supported
by OGR, so possibly it would be better to add it there?
All the best.
