Having a core digitizing tool that cripples geometries do not look good to me, and apparently a good solution has been implemented (or had to) in a plugin. Isn't worth having core doing it the right way? cheers -- G -- _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
