Hey Rob,
I'm trying to get something similar accomplished in another python project and
stumbled across a problem your plugin might be affected of as well. I couldn't
test it because of an error with character encoding. [1]
I have a layer provided by postgis, where the geometry column is not the last
column. The leads to the problem, that any attribute column that comes after
the geometry column is shifted by 1 and so are the values. So a table:
A | b | the_geom | c | d |
---------------------------
1 | 2 | Point(0,0)| 4 | 5 |
Results in a memory layer:
A | b | c | d |
---------------
1 | 2 | | 4 |
I fixed it by inserting a dummy column at the index where in the original data
the geometry column was located. Maybe you can use this in your code as well [2]
Regards,
Matthias

Subject: [Qgis-developer] UPDATE: New Plugin - Edit Any Layer
This plugin has now been uploaded to http://plugins.qgis.org/ and is
awaiting approval (thanks Paolo).
Changelog:
* New icon
* Added comment to dialogue window
* Changed menu entry to "Edit Any Layer -> Create Editable Layer..."
Alister, thanks for the suggestions but, although the name "Copy as
memory layer" would explain _what_ the plugin does, I will stick with "Edit Any
Layer" as this explains _why_ you would want to run the plugin. I have also not
added an option to copy selected items only (and this is low priority as this
feature is in QGIS core UI).
Regards,
Rob
