'Select by layers in the folder' checkbox allow you to select and merge only some shapes not all available in folder. This can be usefull when in folder many shapes with different geometries or when you need only to merge only certain files. When this checkbox turned off tool will work with whole folder, but note that there is no geometry checks and output file will have same geometry as first pocessed file. This behaviour is fixed in separate MergeShapes plugin from GIS-Lab. I'll port it to fTools soon. Also there is a ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/3077 related to Merge shapefiles tool crashes -- Alexander Bruy _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
