 Hi,

 when trying to do v.out.ascii for layer=2 I get tons of
 {{{
 WARNING: Feature has more categories. Only first category (1) is exported.
 }}}

 One for every single point. It's rather annoying to see so many and I'm
 not really clear about what it actually means. Will only layer 1 be
 exported even when I specifically asked for layer 2?


 example:
 {{{
 #spearfish
 v.in.ascii out=surv_track format=standard -n << EOF
 L 3 1
  608119 4915294
  606085 4919979
  599926 4920470
  1 1
 EOF

 # v.to.points creates 2 layers
 v.to.points in=surv_track out=surv_pts dmax=100

 v.out.ascii surv_pts layer=2
 [noise]
 }}}


 (in my real case I've added a new column to layer 2 and use the new
 v.out.ascii columns= to export those values)


 ?

 thanks,
 Hamish
