Hi Michael, the Save Dataset As File ... saves the files and build automaticly the suffix! With Save dataset as ... you can save PostGIS tables with the PostGIS plugin.
I think if Save dadaset as ... could build automatcly the suffix for files it would be a wondeful story. But I think today we do not have a "Save" plugin that can save PostGIS tables with the PostGIS-plugin and building automaticly suffices for files :-( Regards Uwe > Subject: [JPP-Devel] Load/Save dataset design > > Hi, > > It seems that the load/save dataset design has been revisited in the > early stage of OpenJUMP and is now a little bit confused. > > There is 3 PlugIn available for loading file datasets and 3 others to > save them > ex. > .../workbench/datasource/SaveDatsetAsFilePlugIn > .../workbench/datasource/SaveDatsetAsPlugIn > .../workbench/ui/plugin/SaveDatasetAsPlugIn > > The last one, directly derived from ThreadedBasePlugIn seems no more > used (I deactivated it in my source repositiry and noticed no > difference).
