<br>
can the library function create $MAPSET/dbf/ automatically if it
is<br>
needed? Much like any other directory under $MAPSET/. I've been
meaning<br>
to add similar test+mkdir+db.connect code to v.in.garmin, but it
would<br>
be nice if this was done automatically if it doesn't exist.<br>
<br>
or does this introduce other problems, e.g. if other db's are
used?<br>

<div>OK for dbf folder but I've many infinite loop for "Break
boundaries" in several shp files and I have to "kill"
v.in.ogr.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I've discovered one tip for opening these problematic shp files
(57_cvs_041218).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In v.in.ogr the flag -c (Do not clean polygons) is
disabled.</div>
<div>In old 5.7cvs v.in.ogr imported shp files and cleaned polygons
without problems.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Now for some problematic shp files I enable -c flag in v.in.ogr
and the shp is imported. After I select v.clean and I select this vect
and a new vect with "break" as "Cleaning tool".
The new vector is created without problem.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But I think</div>
<div>Why "v.in.ogr" normal goes to infinite loop and
"v.in.ogr -c" + "v.clean" works?</div>
<div>Is this normal?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Bye</div>
