Re: [udig-users] Shapefiles on a network drive fail

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Carr,

For a while we used different shapefile reading code when something is 
located on a network share (since the windows "memory mapped" idea does 
not work when working on a network shared file). That is the reason why 
the index files are not being used on network share.

What kind of errors are you getting?
