[postgis-users] shp2pgsql-gui and option -S (Generate simple instead of MULTI geometries) / Ticket #660?

[Stefan Keller]

Hi

Recent PostGIS versions come with a nifty plugin for pgAdmin3 called
"PostGIS Shapefile and DBF Loader" (shp2pgsql-gui). I see Revision
7713 in my case.

A common stumbling block of shp2pgsql is that Shapefile LineStrings
are imported as MulitLineStrings (I'd wish the default would be the
other way round :->)

Fortunately there's the option -S "Generate simple geometries instead
of MULTI geometries".

Now I realize that this option is not available in the "Options..."
dialog and that there is a ticket #660 since 4.4.11.

Am I missing something?

Yours, Stefan
