Description

The behaviour of the simplify tool in the Advance digitizing has apparently changed: now it creates a copy of the polygon, not easy to see because it is apparently behin the original one.
I found the previous behaviour more intuitive.

I can't confirm - what data type (polygon/multipolygon/...) are you working with? Can you confirm that using the same dataset in 2.8 doesn't copy the feature?

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 9 years ago

See attached file (I moved one of the polygons for clarity).

The data are the result of simplification. Tested on Debian sid (master) and on verious Windows (2.8.2).

I can't confirm anyway, tested on Linux and Windows on master and 2.8.2

Are you sure you meant the simplify tool and not the split tool? I can reproduce this with the split tool, but not the simplify tool...

#8 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 9 years ago

Nope, is th Simplify one. BTW: tested on Windows XP.

#9 Updated by Marco Hugentobler over 9 years ago

I simplified the right object of the provided shapefile and moved it to see if there is a second object. But there is only one object, so I cannot replicate (master branch from today). Do you get a third object if you simplify one object?

  • Operating System set to Windows
  • OS version set to XP32

Checked on Linux, it works as expected. Going to check again on Windows, where I noticed the issue.

Cannot replicate it anymore, sorry for the noise.
