This was because my folder had mixed geometry types. See output below. I suppose this crash should be avoided somehow. 'Select by layers in the folder' checkbox allow you to select and merge only some shapes not all available in folder. This can be usefull when in folder many shapes with different geometries or when you need only to merge only certain files. When this checkbox turned off tool will work with whole folder, but note that there is no geometry checks and output file will have same geometry as first pocessed file. This behaviour is fixed in separate MergeShapes plugin from GIS-Lab. I'll port it to fTools soon. Also there is a ticket http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/3077 related to Merge shapefiles tool crashes -- Alexander Bruy ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Hi John, 2011/3/6 John C. Tull jct...@gmail.com: Hi Alexander, Thanks for the explanation. Yes, the improved plugin would be beneficial for many, I suspect. How does your plugin handle mixed geometries? That led to a crash with the ftools plugin. In MergeShapes plugin there is a combobox that allow to select shapes with which geometry type should be merged. E.g. when selected 'Polygon' only polygonal shapes from folder processed all other are ignored. -- Alexander Bruy ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
[Qgis-developer] macosx dialog issues
Hello Devs, A user (Dr. José Carlos Guerrero) has contacted me recently with a problem that appears to stem from Qt dialogs on MacOS: José is unable to specify output files from several of the fTools tools where a save dialog should be popping up. His install came from here: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis and the relevant particulars are here: MACOSX 10.6.6 QGIS 1.6 ftools: 0.6.1 Any thoughts? -- Carson J. Q.

Re: [Qgis-developer] macosx dialog issues
Which tools? Is the Browse button missing for the output, or nothing happens when you click it? I've seen odd Qt issues with different Qt versions and I have a couple builds I can test.

Hmm, ok I'll look into this one, thanks for the update. I hope it is easily solved. One random thought arose as I tested the tools. Why is the random select tool limited to 30 features? What? It shouldn't be? Unless your layer only has 30 features? Ok, tested again and it worked fine. I must have been working on a layer with only 30 features and did not make the connection there. It works as it should. Cheers, John___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
