[sebastien.piau@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Jody,

Yes such behaviours seems interresting!!
In fact, i don't know exactly how work the featureEditor...
This plugin may be content us and I prefer use existing tools rather than develop new ones.
Could you show me or give the keys in order to use the featureEditor please? So i can tell you if it meet our needs...

Thanks a lot,

Sebastien
