| May 7, 2014 at 16:22 | comment | added | robert tuw | ... thx for the table manager plugin !!! | |
| May 7, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | underdark | Renaming is simple using Table Manager plugin. I agree that exporting to shp has its downsides. | |
| May 7, 2014 at 16:07 | comment | added | robert tuw | ...the problem with exporting the new dataset (as shp) is, that any of the field names are changed/destroyed (since they are automatically generated from table-name + field-name of the joined table) ... so especially for new users (students) this is pretty confusing. and there is as far as i know no simple workaround for renaming fields without using field-calk | |
