Hi Alister, André, Thanks for the response to the plugin. Alister, a new version (0.0.2) of the plugin is available at the same address [1] with your CRS suggestion implemented.

Regards, Alister 2010/8/24 Benoit de Cabissole ben...@exigesa.com Hello List, I've created a simple plugin that allows to view the structure of a shapefile (X-, Y-coords alongside its attributes) and while at it I've also added the capability to edit the geometry and attributes and save back to the shapefile. A corollary is that if you want to add a point by typing its coords you can do it with the plugin (as André aka ALT SHN has suggested). You can even create a new shapefile in QGIS and use the plugin to type in coords and attributes or paste them from the clipboard. Points, lines and polygons shapefiles can be manipulated.

[Qgis-user] Brochure from FIG/FAO: FLOSS in Cadastre and Land Registration - Opportunities and Risk
Hi all, I would like to bring to your attention that the FIG (International Association of Geomatics Engineers), together with the FAO (UN) and the Swiss federal administration released the brochure titled FLOSS in Cadastre and Land Registration - Opportunities and Risk. It is available at http://www.fig.net/pub/fao/floss_cadastre.pdf They base their software comparison chart on QGIS 1.3, which is a bit outdated. And sometimes they make wrong statements, like Quantum GIS is a light-weight frontend for GRASS data which works also well with PostGIS data. It would be ok, when it was stated like Quantum GIS is also a lightweight frontend for GRASS data One weakness of QGIS is however topology validation - it is probably one area where OS competition (such as gvSIG) is ahead. But it is good to see that they recommend the use of FOSSGIS in development countries and list samples and use cases, also from Middle-Europe. Hopefully this will also result in some business opportunities for companies involved with FOSS-GIS, so all can profit from each other.

Re: [Qgis-user] RE: Shapefile structure viewer and editor plugin
Benoit, thanks for very useful plugin, I've started developing something like this sometime ago, glad I didn't go very far! My idea was to replicate Arcview GIS 'shape properties' tool that I missed a lot. Let me give several comment to consider adding to your plugin to make it even more useful (IMHO of course): 1. Please consider working (or showing) only selected feature(s). It is not of much use if there are many polygons with many vertexes, you have to scroll updown a lot to find needed feature. I can still see that seeing everythig is useful when you're working with empty layer (adding features), but a switch 'show only selected feature(s)' would these both suggestions. 2. Is it possible to shrink row height? May be its Windows, but mine are extra inflated occupying valuable space. Check this screenshot [1] (first two rows I shrank manually) 3. It would be really nice if node selected in the table would highlight in map canvas, thus allowing us to track were are they exactly. 4. I think 'close' button and little graphic on the left are unnecessary. I'd add current layer name and its type right in the window title. 5. It would be nice to able to delete a node(s) as well. 6. Please consider moving 'start|stop editing' functionality to QGIS itself, so that you'd have to start and stop editing in QGIS, I think it will be more straightforward.
