 QGIS trunk
 Kubuntu 9.10 AMD64
 GDAL 1.8dev

 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

   add( Format( "MapInfo", "MapInfo File", Format::eFile ) );

 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.

 My GDAL appears to be working as I can do the conversion using ogr2ogr.
