New Feature Request : Support for saving to shapefile #7

Closed suryapratap closed 5 years ago

suryapratap commented 9 years ago

Hi,

This plugin is really great when working with small files but easily runs out of memory, I think this is because it is storing the point data in memory.

Will it be possible to select an on disk shapefile that will store the points so that main memory consumption is limited.

Hi! Will take it into account - but I really wonder how many points you are creating when you run out of memory. I never had this issue (while creating a few 100000 points).

I was trying for something like 12000000 points in one file and 43000000 in another both of which gave the memory error, I could split the files and make a file for each feature to reduce the points per file, but that would require me to work with nearly 1000 files :(

tried, but currently unlikely to be implemented - thats far too much points anyway
