[Qgis-user] Browser Panel Import

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

While it's nice to impress new users to use this 'drag a file into a
database' feature :-) .... I think it's also a 'shoot and run' solution:
either OK or nothing...

Would it be an idea to (sorry dialog haters) have a summary/confirmation
dialog in between this action? Telling the user that 'this file/table
with such columns be copied/moved to that file/table with these columns'?

In this case, it would also have made it possible to stop this overwrite
action?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
