But it actually works?

I tested it on a small line vector and in the best case qgis freezes.

If the project is in wgs84 and the vector is not I get a crash (qgis
1.4, under linux)

-----------------


this is one of the few (more) problems I found recently in the "vector"
toolbox so I'm about to open new tickets (there are already a few in the
trac). There is someone that plans, maybe at the hackfest, to solve this
issues?

cheers
