Shapefile of type SHPT_ARC, the corresponding layer will be reported as
of type wkbLineString, but depending on the number of parts of each
geometry, the actual type of the geometry for each feature can be either
OGRLineString or OGRMultiLineString

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Matteo,
In shapefiles, there is no LineString or Polygon, all line layers are
MultiLineString and polygon layers MultiPolygon.
Only points come in multi and non-multi versions.
Cheers

<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
