Luca, I doubt very much that this works. -fieldTypeToString is a post processing option. In the case reported by Uffe, the data loss occurs in the shapefile driver itself. -fieldTypeToString occurs too late here. -fieldTypeToString is mostly usefull in situations where "odd" data types (such as datetime, string/integer/real lists) aren't handled by the output driver. _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
