[Qgis-developer] Warning - shapefile corruption on 2.16/master and how to recover

[Saber Razmjooei]

There was another report of Shapefile corruption earlier with 2.14 which I thought it could be side effects of the solution for #11007:

Cheers,

Hi all,

> xxx.shp|layerid=0 in read-only mode" and "Data source is invalid 
> (Unable to open xxx.shx or xxx.SHX.Try --config SHAPE_RESTORE_SHX true 
> to restore or create it)" in the log.

geez... this unfortunately sounds familiar... remember all the issues with deleted features and shapefiles opened in software other than QGIS?

Can this be something related to that?

cheers
