Save As bug: cannot save/export "Points from Table" output #143

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
1) Open any table-only data source
2) Select Tools > Shape > Points from Table and add a points layer to the 
current project
3) Save As does not permit saving to a non-table-only format
4) Export does not allow going from a table to a non-table format

Solution Proposed: 

1) The user should always be able to go from a table to a table+geometry format 
using Export.  There is no logical reason to restrict this direction.

2) In addition to the Export fix, would be nice if Save As allowed saving to a 
Geometry layer.  However, as an interm solution, the following is suggested: 
when the user attempts to "Save As", a warning dialog should come up suggesting 
that the user use Export to a format that supports geometry.  In fact, if the 
user attempts to save or export to any format that doesn't support geometry, a 
warning dialog should be raised telling the user that the geometry layer will 
be lost.

what didn't work is the .gda project file that's created during the exporting: 
It's created but when you try to open it, you get the attached error message.

Warning message still needs to be added for sqlite, csv, and dbf: Please note 
that the format you chose only exports the data table, not the geometry.
