Works for me when I open csv layer through the open vector method. It doesn't work when I open a csv file using the delimited text plugin. Which method was causing the problem for you?

This is true when point layer created with Delimited Text plugin. When CSV opened as geometryless layer with Open Vector all works.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from Open to Closed
With 880088c1 (SVN r15704) (and probably older revisions, but I didn't test), moving the CSV file raises a "Handle bad layers" dialog, and allows to find the files created both by Delimited Text and Open Vector.
