Hi Vincent, while I see your point, and I agree that gpkg could be a good candidate, I think there are two major issues in choosing a standard format: * the need to import/export data will put an additional burden on users, and will result in duplicate and possibly misaligned data * users of DBs (and we support a nice variety of them) will not have a choice of moving to "our" format, so they will be put on a disadvantage compared to standard format users. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
