    <p>Hi Matteo,</p>
    <p>In shapefiles, there is no LineString or Polygon, all line layers
      are MultiLineString and polygon layers MultiPolygon.</p>
    <p>Only points come in multi and non-multi versions.</p>
    <p>Cheers</p>

      <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi devs,

in QGIS 3 a shapefile is recognized as MultiLineString, while in QGIS 2
the same file is recognized as LineString. What could be the reason?

Moreover: is there and option to force to read a shapefile as LineString?

Cheers and thanks

Matteo
