CSV - Import / Export

946

Hello,

IIt would be nice to add this 2 options for .csv files.

1- When importing csv files to have the option to keep the coordinates columns as attributes as well.

In this moment when we import and indicate what columns to use as x and y and to keep all attributes, the 2 columns used as coordinates will disappear from the attribute list.

2- When exporting csv files to have the option to switch the x and y columns (not only their name). In some parts of the world x is assumed as north/latitude and is always first coordinate so a lot of applications are asking for this type of input format.

In this moment we have to manually switch the columns in the exported csv files.

Thanks,

All the best!

You could just duplicate the fields in the CSV before importing.

Not so convenient when you have to deal with multiple files and +1000000 rows :)

I agree, it's inconvenient

I agree it would be nice to have the option to keep XY as attributes on import. In case you weren't already aware, you can add these back as attributes after input via the right click menu...

This was solved in the last version and now there is an option to keep the xy as attributes as well.
