[Qgis-user] RE: Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin

[Maxim Dubinin]

Benoit,

thanks for very useful plugin, I've started developing something like
this sometime ago, glad I didn't go very far! My idea was to replicate
Arcview GIS 'shape properties' tool that I missed a lot. Let me give
several comment to consider adding to your plugin to make it even
more useful (IMHO of course):

1. Please consider working (or showing) only selected feature(s). It is not of much
use if there are many polygons with many vertexes, you have to scroll
up&down a lot to find needed feature. I can still see that seeing
everythig is useful when you're working with empty layer (adding
features), but a switch 'show only selected feature(s)' would these
both suggestions.
2. Is it possible to shrink row height? May be its Windows, but mine
are extra inflated occupying valuable space. Check this screenshot [1] (first two rows I shrank
manually)
3. It would be really nice if node selected in the table would
highlight in map canvas, thus allowing us to track were are they
exactly.
4. I think 'close' button and little graphic on the left are
unnecessary. I'd add current layer name and its type right in the window
title.
5. It would be nice to able to delete a node(s) as well.
6. Please consider moving 'start|stop editing' functionality to QGIS
itself, so that you'd have to start and stop editing in QGIS, I think
it will be more straightforward.

Thanks again,
Maxim

BdC> Hi Alister, André,

BdC> Thanks for the response to the plugin.

BdC> Alister, a new version (0.0.2) of the plugin is available at the same
BdC> address [1] with your CRS suggestion implemented.
