[Qgis-developer] Question on valid shapefiles

[Tim Keitt]

I am using OGR to write output from an application. The first few
lines from 'ogrinfo -al' is shown below. QGIS will not load it,
however I can display the line strings in R using rgdal. Is the
problem that the FID is type REAL? Can QGIS handle the "Line String"
type? I am not yet assigning an SRS either.
