The faster tool/code I tested is http://gistncase.blogspot.pt/2012/05/python-shapefile-merger-utility.html and it would be very nice to use it to replace the actual python code of the merge shapefiles qgis tool, see http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7208 cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
