Comment:

 This problem should no longer be an issue as of r15385.
 Vector file writer now gracefully handles duplicate truncated names, and
 where this isn't caught by the writer, fTools now catches and returns an
 error.

 This basically addresses the posters first suggestion. Since multiple
 output types are on the 'TODO' this, I will close this ticket as the
 current issue is now resolved. As always, if the problem persists, please
 reopen the ticket.

 Note: The OP may want to open a new 'enhancement' ticket suggesting
 multiple output types to address their 2nd and 4th suggestions, though
 note that these are already known enhancement requests.

 Regards,

 Carson
