Description
Toggle editing a point shapefile layer.
Are available advanced digitizing tools like Add Part, Delete Part, Merge Feature(s). I'm wondering why these tools are available for this type of layer since:
- trying to merge features states : "The union operation would result in a geometry type that is not compatible with the current layer and therefore is canceled"
- Add part : the parts are added with the clic but when saving the layer, there are vanished silently (should i open a specific ticket?)
- Delete part : impossible to test it since I wasn't able to add a multipart shapefile. Saving a postgis multipoint into shapefile only keeps the single part features.
I don't know if shapefile format doesn't allow multiparts point features or if it's QGIS that doesn't support it (creating a shapefile only offers point type no multipoint) but there should be coherence between tools available and capabilities.

correct. Multi-point layers/shapefiles are certainly possible and the described tools work as expected with them. It is confusing to leave them active for non multi-point layers and so return to users error messages.

I don't know if it was a local issue or a third-part one but I can currently merge point features, add and delete part in a shapefile layer.
Things look coherent now from a shapefile format point of view.
