[Qgis-user] QGIS Saving TAB as SHP

[Richard McDonnell]

Afternoon all,
I have a slight issue, there are a number of MapInfo Tab Files which we 
want to convert to Shapefile, but they do not convert correctly.
The issue arises with Rings/Holes in the Polygons, when you save the TAB 
file as a shapefile, some of them are not displaying correct, they 
overlay the hole as another polygon.
The issue seems to be related to the direction the hole was 
digitised/generated to. The issue can also be replicated outside of QGIS 
by running ogr2ogr, so it seems to be a GDAL/OGR ESRI Shapefile Driver 
issue.
Now in saying all that, QGIS 3 seems to be able to fix the issue by 
running, /*Fix geometries */from the Processing Toolbox.
My question is, Is there a way to fix the OGR Driver to fix the issue, 
or a tick box under /*Save Vector Layer as... */to run/implament the 
/*Fix geometries */tool as part of the save process?
This is an issue, which pops up regularly online, with no solution to date.
Regards & Thanks in advance.
