[Qgis-developer] Auto increment field for shapefiles?

[Andrea Peri]

The dbf spec has a type serial ?

I don't remenber , but not sure of this.

If the dbf has not a serial type.

This enhance will mena to produce a new kind of shapfile
readable only from QGIS.

I guess should be avoided to produce incompatible new formats.

Andrea.
