[Qgis-developer] Geometry type conversion of 2.6

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi,

I just wanted to write also to the list because of a similar issue, but  
here it happens when using processing.
I created a regular point grid over a polygon. As I just wanted to have  
the points inside the polygon and not the bounding box, I clipped it with  
the processing version of ftools clip.
The readOGR in my R script I wanted to use the points with then complained  
about the layer being multipoint. Multipart to single part fortunately did  
the trick.
The original ftools clip did deliver a normal point layer though.

Cheers
Bernd
