[Qgis-user] batch shapefile reproject?

[gvSIGMac]

If you got Qgis from
www.kyngchaos.com 
you already have ogr2ogr in your system thru gdal
http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/frameworks
You only need to set your path or run
/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/Current/Programs/ogr2ogr

I believe if you're using the windows osgeo install that it is installed if you're using linux it's a matter of installing gdal which if you have qgis it's probably already there.
