Hi Paolo

This is about saving the persisting the data in memory data provider layers, 
which by default is discarded when the project is closed (although the layer 
definition is in the project file, all the data is lost).  It is not related to 
fTools.  It is specific to the memory data provider. 

However having a common storage area for project related data does sound a very 
good idea.  At the moment the solution for the memory layers is leaning towards 
an Sqlite storage, say in a file called project.qgis.mldb.  However this could 
be held in a common sqlite database, provided we respect a table naming 
convention.  That would certainly make sense for users wanting to move projects 
around.

Is that the sort of thing you are thinking of?

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
please consider that much the same problem applies to other plugins, especially 
Sextante and GDALTools. Now that we are going to have a Save as... facility 
also for rasters, this could also be included.
So a solution designed only for fTools seems suboptimal.
All the best.
