Frank Broniewski:

Hi Nikos,

I am using a similar approach to yours to extract data from OSM files
to a GIS format. I chose Spatiallite as a format since it is superior
to the Shapefile format in all areas.  FYI here’s what I do:

osmconvert -b="5.5,49,8,50.5" -o=saarland.osm.pbf "europe-latest.osm.pbf"

ogr2ogr --config OSM_CONFIG_FILE /home/frank/gdal/osmconf.ini -f SQLite -dsco SPATIALITE=YES 
-progress -gt 65536 -t_srs "EPSG:31466" >/tmp/saarland.sqlite 
/tmp/saarland.osm.pbf

Please note the “–config” switch for a custom osmconf.ini. With that
you can copy the config to a custom location and have several configs
for many use cases.

Thank you Even and Frank!

I will likely adopt the `osmconf.ini` method.

@Frank, I would go a step further if time permits. A function or script that
takes something like `layer=lines` and
`keys="track,footway,bridleway,path"` as input parameters and outputs the
custom configuration file.

From reading the driver's manual [0], there is a hint about the spatial,
filtering resulting in lines or polygons missing vertices. Is this a/the
reason, to stick to `osmconvert` for extracting areas of interest?

Thank you for your (invaluable) time, Nikos
