Hi Alexander,

what format other than the standard shp format could be proposed then for  
e.g. for the Processing output (GRASS and SAGA functions seem not to  
support memory layer)?

And it does not seem to be possible to change the default save option from  
shp to sth else permanently for the toolbox?
The charm of Processing is that you can quickly do a lot of  
trial-and-error-runs on datasets without having to care where the data  
ends up cause its temporary anyway.

So changing the default export format to (?) without changing the workflow  
would just be great.


What I learned now:
Do not use shp for joining layers, but (-you name it-)
