[Qgis-user] field calculator add field to .csv layer

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi Janneke

If I'm not mistaking, the csv files are read-only in Qgis. So I guess it's
not a bug

I just tested here and all I can do is to add a virtual field to the csv,
but not actually write in the file.

Cheers

Stéphane
