Yes, the entire way is re-uploaded including the new node (this is required since order of nodes is important, and they can theoretically be repeated..) > I have to say this is going to be a deal breaker for trying to correct > shorelines that were added using a "lake-waker" plugin. > My 2 cents. > Robert > > "We should give meaning to life, not wait for life to give to > give us meaning.
