             I was looking for the same functionality as Zoran so have
        also been working with your "Nearest" plugin.  It is exactly
        what I need and seems to work well.<br>

            <div>This is similar to the mentioned solution with
              selecting by radius, or changing the tolerance of ID tool.
              Close, but no cigar. Since this is not very urgent, I've
              decided to continue pursuing that outlined solution Carson
              gave, and write a plugin i Python based on that. Since I
              actually never used Python before, it may take a while,
              but hey, I get to learn sth. new :-).

            <div>I never got the word back from Carson, has he developed
              anything along these lines, but I have to presume he
              didn't...

            <div>Anyone interested in joning me, or even earning some
              money, is still invited to jump on board. My GIS

              there'll even be some money involved :-).

                  It sort of is, but not completely. Identify will ID
