Hi,

Thanks,

History

#1 Updated by Tim Sutton over 15 years ago

Changed priority since major: does not work as expected should be used for features that are implemented but broken. We still need to implement this feature, though I agree its an important one to have.

#2 Updated by Jürgen Fischer over 15 years ago

this should probably added to the OGR shape driver. QGIS would automatically pick it up, once the OGR would support it.

#4 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 15 years ago

Anyway, this is now possible (and easy) with a python plugin. Maybe the ticked can be closed?

#5 Updated by Markus Neteler over 15 years ago

Which plugin is that? Does it add a new button to the table manager?

#6 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 15 years ago

Carson Farmer's fTools>Table tools

#7 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 15 years ago

Sorry, I was wrong. It's Table Manager from Borys Jurgiel repo

#8 Updated by Jürgen Fischer over 15 years ago

FYI there's patch to OGR to do this: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2672

#9 Updated by Redmine Admin almost 15 years ago

In gdal/ogr 1.6 is possible to add new attributes and the functionality is already implemented in qgis through the properties dialog. Should this ticket be closed?
