[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] v. in ogr missing from sextante toolbox

[Victor Olaya]

If you just want to convert the shapefile to the convert to grass
format and then run another module (you do not need the topology
checking), then, as I said, there is no need to call v.in.ogr.

Say that you want to run v.clean on your shapefile. From SEXTANTE, you
just run v.clean, and select the shapefile you want to use as input.
SEXTANTE will take care of converting it to GRASS format (calling
v.in.ogr), and then converting the resulting GRASS file into the
format you selected

Anyway, the extra options of v.in.ogr sound interesting, and I did not
know about them, so I might add then to SEXTANTE, to allow advanced
users to control with more detail how the import is done.

Thanks!
Victor
