[Qgis-user] New Shapefile Features Fail to Save

Wed Feb 3 08:52:09 PST 2016

If I understand the technical aspects correctly (marking shapes with a *
rather than actually deleting them), the problem seems to be departing from
the shapefile "standard".

One of QGIS's strengths should be interoperability rather than inventing
one off, wierd standards to frustrate compatibility.

I don't think this is behind the failure to save problem but is concerning
nonetheless . . . .
