[Gvsig_english] copying shape file layers

[Klaus Schaefer]

Simon - thanks for your support 

I was thinking about formulating a very similar reply but finally didn't
want to extend this thread endless...

However, I'm an IT person, having been working for long years as IT
consultant. I've used hundreds of applications with copy functions. They've
always done what I expected.

I'm working with GIS/gvSIG since about a year now. However, I may not use it
that frequent and to an extend many of you do. That's why I apologise not to
be a GIS-guru and sometimes ask strange questions... Now I learned that the
GIS community has a little bit different understanding what a copy does (has
to do). OK, I had to learn it the hard way... 

BTW, I love gvSIG. It really comforts my needs and I'm promoting it strongly
to the people I work with. Sometimes I'm sometimes only wondering that - in
my eyes - relative simple functions do not work as expected or I even cannot
get them to work at all (e.g. moving points in a layer - there's a thread in
this forum as well. I had even gurus looking into it on my system, without
success...) For sure - as a non GIS guru I usually expect functions to
behave as in usual windows applications (even though I've worked with
LINUX/UNIX as well).

Thanks a lot for all your support and clarification! I like you people, this
forum (being a major source of competence and help) and the software as
such!!!

Klaus
