[Qgis-user] New Shapefile Features Fail to Save

Hi, 
The problems seems more that the standard has not been explicitly written.  If I understand the last comment thought about QGIS, It seams that QGIS does try to repack the file when closing it to make it compatible with Esri's way of deleting geometries... That may be where the current deleting problems, if any, originates from...

	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 . . . .

Some weeks ago, I reported an error that does not allow for proper feature deleting. The shapes I deleted were gone in QGIS, but they were still present in ArcMap.   Matthias Kuhn wrote in this context:   Hi I just received a confirmation that Marco is working on a fix for this issue and targets the 2.14 release. GDAL 2.0 would still be nice to also have the geometry issue fixed :)   Best regards -- Matthias Kuhn     If it turns out that your problems come from the same origin, maybe it’s time now to disable shapefile editing in QGIS until those problems are solved.   Maybe someone more competent than me can give information to the list on the troubleshooting status? QGIS is such an outstanding piece of software, we’d love to see that errors disappear!       Mit freundlichen Grüßen,   Uwe Fischer   Von: Qgis-user [mailto: [hidden email] ] Im Auftrag von Springfield Harrison Gesendet: Mittwoch, 3.

I'll look at the bug reports; this is a pretty serious error.   Thank you . . . . . .

Then to figure out where the problem is, I would: Make sure that both layer are polygon layers (and not lines and polygons), that both have the same CRS (along with the project CRS), that both have the same fields and that the "receiving layer" is in editing mode, and saved subsequently. I would limited the amount of open files and open plugins. Try  copying polygons from a newly created file to an empty newly created layer in QGIS and not a shapefile that was previously manipulated in other softwares.  All this could help you find the source of the problem.  I would also look at the bug reports to see if it is an issue for that version. Hope this helps. Nicolas Cadieux M.Sc.
