Description

*) enhancement: when loading data from shapefiles, the "choose input shapefile" shows
always the home folder (at least under linux) when it opens. It would be better to make
it open in the last folder used, otherwise loading many shapefiles not located near the ~ become is very frustrating.

*) feature: allow multiple load from more than one shapefile at one time

*) bug: when a shapefile is loaded into postgis the table list is not
refreshed in the database view

*) enhancement: when changing the table structure (by adding/deleting/editing
columns) of a postgis layer that is loaded in the map canvas, refreshing
the layer after the changes are applied. This already happens in qgis
when you alter the table structure using the "properties -> attributes"
menu.

*) bug: when adding/editing a column I get always an error if I try to define
the length of the field.

*) enhancement: when adding/editing a column, when choosing a particular type, an
error is returned if the "can be null" checkbox is not selected. For
these particular types should be better to have the checkbox
automatically selected.

this would fix among the others this two bugs I have found

*) In a postgis layer if I add a column with the "postgis manager", the
attribute table is not immediately updated, as I have to reload the
layer to see the changes. This doesn't happens if the column is added
trough "Properties -> Attributes".

*) If I delete a postgis column with the "postgis manager" and the I
open the attributes table I only see "ERROR" as values. If I reload the
layer everything seems fine.

a few things have been fixed. This is what still remains (they still are just suggestions). I made things a little more clear/detailed if compared with the ticket description.

I see that "can be null" checkbox is selected by default, nevertheless I suggest that with datatypes that "cannot be null" to make the checkbox not active to avoid people uncheck it.

This is not a core plugin. The report should be moved to the new additional plugin tracker when ready.

when reasy I'll do it ;) but I hope also that this plugin will become core

#4 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 13 years ago

It cannot for now, as it would introduce an heavy dependency (shp2pgsql and pgsql2shp, which means the whole PostgreSQL+PostGIS in Windows).

Why not? We don't include GDAL binaries either...

In our repository that is. And shp2pgsql/pgsql2shp doesn't require more than a PostgreSQL connection - just like QGIS itself.
