[Qgis-user] qgis shape files modified - arcview shows old

[Torsten Lange]

Thanks for your suggestion, Alexandre. I'll give it a try. Actually, it wasn't ArcGIS that shows this behavior, but that old world Arcview 3.x.

However, deleting those extra files may not be fully water proof as those shapes maybe edited again in ArcGIS from time to time and maybe by other people. And I assume, ArcGIS will then recreate these extra files again. However, I never have this issue when I exchange shapes just between ArcGIS and ArcView 3.x. Apparently, just QGIS is doing it a bit different.

Cheers, Torsten

 Can you try delete all files except the SHP, DBF, SHX and PRJ before open it in ArcGIS?   I think I already had this problem and that's how I have solved it.   By that time, I got the impression that ArcGIS create some kind of cache files to improve the reading on shapefiles. This files are not updated by QGIS and therefore the change became not visible back in ArcGIS.   Hope it helps,   Alexandre Neto

Hi,

For a specific purpose we rely on an Arcview plugin. If I open shape files in Arcview that where modified in Qgis I always see the version from befor it was modified. So, as a workaround I save the file to a new shape file, then every thing is ok. ArcGis doesn't show this odd behavior.

Why is that? Is there any option to keep the shape files clean? I'm afraid, one time I could forget to save as new file and reload, which - if work proceeds - leads to cumbersome extra work.

Thanks, Torsten
