[Qgis-user] Preserving joined fields in Processing outputs

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Just my two cents:
+1 to leave it as it is
reasoning: I would always expect the current behaviour; a virtual field 
is - well - virtual, I can redo it after processing (BTW it would be 
good if it was savable in a qml file) and I can join to the result, too. 
No need to carry unnecessary fields from joined layers along.
Plus, as stated in the discussion, GRASS/SAGA/ogr won't keep these 
fields anyway, to implement it for QGIS algs only would result in 
inconsistent outputs
