I've used hundreds of applications with copy functions. They've<br>always done what I expected.<br><br>I'm working with GIS/gvSIG since about a year now. However, I may not use it<br>that frequent and to an extend many of you do. That's why I apologise not to<br>be a GIS-guru and sometimes ask strange questions... Now I learned that the<br>GIS community has a little bit different understanding what a copy does (has<br>to do). OK, I had to learn it the hard
way... <br><br>BTW, I love gvSIG. It really comforts my needs and I'm promoting it strongly<br>to the people I work with. Sometimes I'm sometimes only wondering that - in<br>my eyes - relative simple functions do not work as expected or I even cannot<br>get them to work at all (e.g. moving points in a layer - there's a thread in<br>this forum as well. I had even gurus looking into it on my system, without<br>success...) For sure - as a non GIS guru I usually expect functions to<br>behave as in usual windows applications (even though I've worked with<br>LINUX/UNIX as well).<br><br>Thanks a lot for all your support and clarification! I like you people, this<br>forum (being a major source of competence and help) and the software as<br>such!!!<br><br>Klaus<br><br>--<br>View this message in context: <a href="http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/copying-shape-file-layers-tp6643699p6647603.html"
