In last master "width" and "precision" labels gone.

#3 Updated by Jukka Rahkonen over 10 years ago

SQLite does not really support (or has a limitation) to set column width and precision so hiding the controls feels like a right action.

Closing for the reasons outlined by Jukka.

Ok, SQLite does not support width and precision. But now "New column" window looks ugly. What is the purpose of string which shows type of field (BLOB, TEXT, FLOAT, INTEGER) after input fields? Value of this string is the same as value of "Type" input field.

  • Tag set to easy

As far as I know, the values in the combobox are used equally throughout QGIS and the label below is used to tell the user the equivalent in the terminology used by the dataprovider.

Are you able to use QtDesigner? So you could easily solve this, by adding a vertical spacer below (to make the label "stick" to the upper part of the form) and maybe add Another label to the left saying something like "Provider type:", so the meaning of this value is clear.

#8 Updated by Maxim Dubinin over 10 years ago

Let me add my 5c to the confusion.

Try to do this:
1. Load any shapefile with say 1 polygon
2. Right-click - save as Spatialite, check Add to canvas
3. After it is done (note possible bug #7822 btw), open table, start editing, try adding field (double). Note that both additional fields are present and editable.
This may be due to the fact that Metadata says SQLite, not SQLite with Spatialite. But I do select Spatialite on export.

Is it a separate issue?

#9 Updated by Matthias Kuhn over 10 years ago

Yes, this should be considered a separate issue: The layer OGR provider is used instead of the built-in spatialite provider. I am not aware of any reason to do this, it's probably just adding any "Save As" layer as OGR. Could you file another ticket for this? Thank you.
