Description
For try to reduce action to exported physical table.
I wish processing algorithms keep join field when they exist.
Example : Join layer with attribute from table file (posgresql, csv or dbf)
Processing > Dissolve in memory layer or temporary file lost all attribute from table and keep only geometric layer attribute.

what tool you used to do the dissolve? In processing there are tools (saga,grass,ogr) that don't know anything about qgis joins: processing "simply" call them and they go pick the datasource. Maybe this would be possible with qgis tools.

Yes I mean only about QGIS tools of course.
For Dissolve or Save Selected Features it's QGIS tool in Processing.

Not sure if we should change current situation. It may be quite confusing for users that some algs (e.g. QGIS) preserver joined/virtual fiels while other algs (based on 3rd party tools) don't.
I started discussion about this in mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2016-April/036018.html

We decided to leave this as is, so all Processing algs behave consistent
