Sorry for my English, I was uncler in fact. Yes, losing, but only as an second option when you don't need any spatial capabilities. It is faster and allows export any loaded layer (see limitations I said previously). Now night is coming to an end at Carson's, so let's look for the Update ;) cfarmer wrote: > Not a cyborg, but I did give up sleep about a month ago ;) ;-) > Hmm, I don't use GRASS a lot, so I didn't implement this, but now that you > mention it, it's probably a good idea.

I was talking rather about future - if we want to keep QGIS as much modular as we can, I think the best way may be reading and writing directly from/to QgsMapLayer and leaving all the format handling to provider plugins. What do you think? Maybe I don't consider all threats (memory usage, specifity of QgsMapLayer, risk of layer changing by user (in other thread) during long analysis process...) > I think this is a very good idea, and I will implement this later tonight. > Look for an updated manageR with an added button to load only attributes.

I use QGIS for few years, but what is happening now is amazing ;) With all the external tools and easiness/power of Python/C, we have so huge potential, that I use GRASS rarely and rarely.
