Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase
You could add the layers you need and use the convert to offline project button to convert the layers to sqlite. I have done this to our file geodatabases but it doesn't work for Z and ZM features, some field data types will throw errors that may or may not halt the export. Then you might be able to use some SQL filters in the database to limit or group certain layers.

Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase
Thank you for your answers! It worked as you suggested. I filtered the gdb database to the objects that I needed and saved them as shape.file. Afterwards I could delete the database in the project and work with the shape file instead with reasonable speed.

Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase
The only way I am aware of, is to load the .gdb file, select the layer(s) you want and then use the save-as option to save out as a shapefile.

Re: [Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase
You can right click a layer and go to filter and enter an expression to filter out unwanted objects. From there save as will save to a shapefile, among other other formats, that will only be the items defined by the filter. You can also use a select expression and in the save as dialog select save only selected features Does that help?.

[Qgis-user] Selecting Objects from an ESRI file based geodatabase
Hi, I have opend an ESRI .gdb database (directory) in an qgis project. The mayor .gdbtable-file has a size of about 3.5 GB and contains about 18.000 objects (polygons). It is rather awkward to work with such a database to say the least since I need only 2 to 3 objects at a time. I wonder, is there a way to select certain objects by filtering and convert them selectively to a shape file or to copy them to a new database? Thanks you for suggestions.
