<br>
I am having trouble exporting shapefiles to MapInfo using OGR Converter
and believe this is a bug.<br>
<br>
QGIS trunk - updated and compiled today (24/11/09) revision 12236M<br>
Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64<br>
GDAL 1.6.1 compiled from source 11/5/2009<br>
<br>
When I choose a ESRI Shapefile and supply an input filename name then
choose target format of "MapInfo File" and press Browse nothing happens
at all. If you then just press OK it tells you that the target dataset
is missing. I had a look at the code and it looks to me like the line<br>
<br>
add( Format( "MapInfo", "MapInfo File", Format::eFile ) );<br>
<br>
in format.cpp has the "MapInfo" and "MapInfo File" around the wrong
way. If you reverse these and re-compile, QGIS then allows you to
choose the output target file, but then crashes when you press OK.
Looking in the target directory, OGR Converter writes out the dat, id
and map files, but there is no tab file. If you just enter a name (ie.
without '.tab') as the target filename, it creates a directory and
writes the dat, id and map files, again without the tab.<br>
<br>
My GDAL appears to be working as I can do the conversion using ogr2ogr.<br>
<br>
