Hi Nyall, I have been using 2.16 in a 3 week summer class. We have been using these functions, and not seen the described errors. We use OS : Windows 7 and 8 - the MAC users was using 2.14
Is it on Linux you get the errors ?

This results in shapefile corruption in certain circumstances. While I've hit this issue maybe 3 or 4 times in the last 2 months, I haven't been able to track down exactly what causes this. It seems related to using the split or reshape tool on a shapefile, then saving the changes and getting the errors "Cannot reopen datasource xxx.shp|layerid=0 in read-only mode" and "Data source is invalid (Unable to open xxx.shx or xxx.SHX.Try --config SHAPE_RESTORE_SHX true to restore or create it)" in the log. A full report is at http://hub.qgis.org/issues/15570 Hopefully we can resolve this before the next round of releases. In the meantime, there's a workaround for recovering data: In the same folder as the shapefile there'll be additional files "xxx_packed.shp" and "xxx_packed.shx". Renaming the "xxx_packed.shx" file to "xxx.shx" allows the original shapefile to be reopened.
