[Qgis-user] volumes and coding

[Sergio Zárate Pedroche]

Hi,
I made a dumb-check and found out the following:

Volumes, and folders within, are read (in a mac G3, tiger 10.4.11,  
with either version of QGis) as long as I drag the icon to the left- 
side bar. Big help indeed!
However, when exporting, for example a shape file from QGis to these  
"external" locations, either the save fails or QGis crashes, thus  
failing. If instead I save shapefiles in the "local" drive (boot  
disk), for example in desktop, all works smoothly. Thus, problem  
diminished with success!

Back to earlier issue: coding. Loading shapes in UTF8 does respect  
the .dbf characters (accents and "ñ") but are displayed as a  
questionmark symbol. If after loading shapefiles I edit the table  
from within QGis, all is set properly. Another little problem made  
smaller!

Thanks for useful comments and the hard work of developers!
