I am using QGIS and I created a vector grid on a crop field in order to cut it into plots. I want to save each grid cell into individual polygon shapefiles automatically.



Here is an example of a vector grid I would like to split into 117 shapefiles:



Example of a grid I would like to split into 117 shapefiles



Eventually, I did it manually with the selection tool and "Save as" but it is really time-consuming when there are more than 100 plots to save. Is there any way to do it faster and more automatically?



Each plot as an attribute named "Plot" that can discriminate against them (basically being id + 1). It's the attribute used here to label them.

          You need to use Split Vector Layer from processing toolbox. You can find the tool from Processing toolbox -> QGIS geoalgorithms -> Vector general tools -> Split Vector Layer



          Select the input shapefile and use a unique ID field to save each grid block into separate file. You need to specify the output folder to save all the polygons in it.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
