[udig-users] Shapefiles on a network drive fail

["Carr, Angus (MNR)" <Angus.Carr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, List.

 

Has anyone else had errors with getting non-local files to read properly?

 

I have a file WTRSHTER.shp (and all it’s extra bits) which I cannot read on the network drive (YJ but which when I copy it to a local drive, it reads fine.

 

Has anyone else had such a problem?

 

Udig downloaded today, so v1.1-RC14

 

The file can be read quite happily by other GIS products, in either location.

 

UDig creates the index files .fix and .qix in the directory when I copy it locally, and does not on the network drive.

 

I presume that the creation of these spatial index files is much of the problem. Is there any way to read from a write-only directory?
