Hey Vladut: If you succeed in recovering the previous *dbf* file, you can join it again to the recent damaged shapefile, by the common field of area, provided your previous field SUP (area) was actually the area of the geometry elements. Before joining, recalculate and/or round the area fields,

This is a great idea if she is on Windows. Right click on the folder and select previous versions. Then just selectively drag and drop files from that restored folder. Backups - backups.  At home I have no fewer than 6 backups around me.  Even on the road I have 2 - 3 backups with me at all

Ciao Vladut, I'm sorry, you have no chanches to recover deleted attributes. You need to populate attributes again. However, in my mind, this could be not a impossible job. SUP (area) attribute is a geometry dependant value, you could calculate areas again with a simple string in field

If you made changes to the tables and saved them then there is for me no obvious way to recover the information to its previous state. Unless you had a backup of your original data which is always a good thing to have. Good luck. On 2020-11-15 10:12, Vladut Constandoiu wrote: Good

[Qgis-user] LOSS OF DATA AFTER DELETING DUPLICATE GEOMETRIES

2020-04-21 Thread Bernard
Hi, I used MMQGIS to delete duplicate geometries. After deleting, I saved the file using a pre-existing name, overwrote the file and opened it. The file was blank. What could have gone wrong? I have lost all the data/records in the old file. The attribute table was blank and the file fise 1kb.
