[Qgis-user] Saving GPX as SHP looses the time part of the (date)time field

[Alexandre Neto]

I got into this problem early today. Trying to save a GPX as SHP I loose
the time part of the time Field, and only the date is saved as a string.

Instead of getting a string like this: "2013-11-21T10:00:25" all I get is
"2013-11-21".

I suspected that this had something to do with GDAL\OGR, and I found a bug
about this exact problem.

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2968

In the end of the ticket report, a possible solution is given to allow
ogr2ogr to cast the DateTime filed as a string, I think this might be
preferable within QGIS, to ensure no data is lost. Should I fill a Feature
request in Redmine?

Thanks,

Alexandre Neto
