I've been trying to save my CSV file as a shapefile, but every time I attempt to do so, I encounter an error that says Storing metadata for the specified URI is not supported. I've double-checked the file path, ensured the file names are correct, and attempted to save using different methods like GeoPackage, ESRI shapefile, and SpatiaLite (SQLite), but the issue persists. I've also verified the coordinates.

How can I fix this problem?

CSV data is like:

SitRecID, SpcHisFamName, SpcHisSciName, SpcHisCommonName, SpcHisCategory, SeaDesc, CtyBirdLifeName, ibaStaDesc, SitLat, SitLong
6840, Anatidae Dendrocygna, viduata, White-faced Whistling-duck, LC, non-breeding, Senegal, confirmed, 16.33333333, -16.25 
6840, Anatidae Dendrocygna, bicolor, Fulvous Whistling-duck, LC, non-breeding, Senegal, confirmed, 16.33333333, -16.25
6841, Anatidae Dendrocygna, bicolor, Fulvous Whistling-duck, LC, non-breeding, Senegal, confirmed, 16.15, -16.2

  • Where do you want to save it? Try a local drive where you have writing permission.

  • I want to save it on my computer. I have already created a file where I initially saved the CSV, and I also want to use the same file for the Shapefile
