 *) enhancement: when loading data from shapefiles, the "choose input
 shapefile" shows
 always the home folder (at least under linux) when it opens. It would be
 better to make
 it open in the last folder used, otherwise loading many shapefiles not
 located near the ~ become is very frustrating.
 [[BR]]

 *) feature: allow multiple load from more than one shapefile at one time
 [[BR]]

 *) bug: when a shapefile is loaded into postgis the table list is not
 refreshed in the database view
 [[BR]]

 *) enhancement: when changing the table structure (by
 adding/deleting/editing
 columns) of a postgis layer that is loaded in the map canvas, refreshing
 the layer after the changes are applied. This already happens in qgis
 when you alter the table structure using the "properties -> attributes"
 menu.
 [[BR]]

 *) bug: when adding/editing a column I get always an error if I try to
 define
 the length of the field.
 [[BR]]

 *) enhancement: when adding/editing a column, when choosing a particular
 type, an
 error is returned if the "can be null" checkbox is not selected. For
 these particular types should be better to have the checkbox
 automatically selected.

 [[BR]]

 this would fix among the others this two bugs I have found

 [[BR]]

 *) In a postgis layer if I add a column with the "postgis manager", the
 attribute table is not immediately updated, as I have to reload the
 layer to see the changes. This doesn't happens if the column is added
 trough "Properties -> Attributes".
 [[BR]]

 *) If I delete a postgis column with the "postgis manager" and the I
 open the attributes table I only see "ERROR" as values. If I reload the
 layer everything seems fine.
