Confirmed on Linux too. The data corruption flag is appropriate I think. What's also not nice is that in the case that the warning is shown, if cancel is pressed the New shapefile layer dialog is closed losing all entered fields. |

When creating a new Shapefile ( menu
Layer / Create layer / new Shapefile Layer...), one can either select or write a new layer name. When selecting it (using the...button), thefull path + name + .shp extensionis returned. If such file already exists, a warning is shown.If the user just enters a name, without the
.shpextension, (with or without a path), the set of Shapefile files are created. Any existing Shapefile will be overwritten without any warning.Expected behavior: a warning should be shown that the layer will be overwritten
Step to reproduce:
Layer / Create layer / new Shapefile Layer..., enter the nametest, select a geometry type and click ok to create the shapefilesLayer / Create layer / new Shapefile Layer..., enter the same nametest, select a geometry type and click ok to create the shapefiles --> files are overwritten, no warning is shownLayer / Create layer / new Shapefile Layer..., enter the same name, with extensiontest.shp, select a geometry type and click ok to create the shapefiles -->A warning is shown informing that the layer already exists and will be overwrittenThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
