[Gvsig_english] copying shape file layers

[Klaus Schaefer]

Well, just as a last word of mine in this thread :

My original question actually only was if the "copy layer" result (at least
as long as I use it for a shape file layer) is a bug or is intention. The
answer is: it is intended to work like this. I may like it or not. One can
think of hundreds of examples of how "copy" works (different/similar) in
other applications e.g. - nevertheless the gvSIG developers decided to let
it work like this. And they have their good reasons. Now it is clear to me.
Now being aware of how it works, it is absolutly OK for me.

I would only suggest to make it clear to any user of gvSIG. For example a
warning or info message could pop up, either directly when copying the layer
or when modifying layer data when is has been copied. It is a matter of
"user friendliness" of software. Of course, I agree, "hard core users" may
find this absolutely unnecessary... 

Cheers
Klaus
