Hello Alexandre,<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Ok, thank
you. That is cumbersome but does work I guess.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Does
"Save As" clear out the deleted features or do they live on as
ghosts?<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Thank you, cheers

This has to do with the way qgis (GDAL) handles the feature deletion.
Instead of totally removing them (which takes longer) it mark them as
deleted.<br><br>
The (not very elegant) workaround here is to save the layer to a new
shapefile using save as...<br><br>
Hope it helps<br><br>

<dd>Hello All,<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â I have been opening QGIS shapefiles in Manifold GIS and
noticed that<br>
<dd>they bear very little resemblance to the same file in QGIS, in
some<br>
<dd>cases. When I then saved that file in QGIS as a different file,
and<br>
<dd>opened it in Manifold GIS, all the features were present and
arranged<br>
<dd>as expected.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â On another occasion, it looked like previously deleted
polygons were<br>
<dd>visible when opened in Manifold GIS.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â And, in another instance, when attempting in QGIS to
create a<br>
<dd>polygon, that failed. Instead, portions of old, deleted
polygons<br>
<dd>were reactivated instead! What is going on here? This does not
look<br>
<dd>like trustworthy behavior.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â I tried using SpatiaLite files instead of shapefiles, but
there edit<br>
<dd>and feature creation failed outright.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â I believe this has been dealt with earlier; could someone
point me<br>
<dd>to the discussion? I did a brief search but could not find the
relevant posts.<br><br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Thanks very much, Cheers . . . . . . . .
