*Hi Phil,*
We where proposing to do that, but it would only really be a temporary
solution or Fix.
*Hi Nicolas,*
I haven't checked this in other formats, I will look into this when I
get a chance, but even if its not an problem in other formats, its still
an issue. I will also log the Bug.
It has been an issue for quite a while and it still persists in QGIS 3
and it would be nice as part of QGIS core if it could finally be remedied.
The crazy thing is, the TAB file opens in QGIS perfectly, no issues! it
only becomes an issue when you try to save the file as a shapefile.
My main concern here is that, we have been pushing QGIS as *the* GIS
solution in the office, phasing out MapInfo. A lot of the people we are
trying to win over are users of MapInfo, so we have a lot of data in
both TAB and SHP formats, we are trying to get these people to use SHP,
and the tool we want them to use, cant reliably convert from TAB to SHP,
without a work around.

Afternoon Richard,
Would a model suffice?

Afternoon all,
I have a slight issue, there are a number of MapInfo Tab Files which
we want to convert to Shapefile, but they do not convert correctly.
The issue arises with Rings/Holes in the Polygons, when you save the
TAB file as a shapefile, some of them are not displaying correct, they
overlay the hole as another polygon.
The issue seems to be related to the direction the hole was
digitised/generated to. The issue can also be replicated outside of
QGIS by running ogr2ogr, so it seems to be a GDAL/OGR ESRI Shapefile
Driver issue.
Now in saying all that, QGIS 3 seems to be able to fix the issue by
running, */Fix geometries /*from the Processing Toolbox.
My question is, Is there a way to fix the OGR Driver to fix the issue,
or a tick box under */Save Vector Layer as... /*to run/implament the
*/Fix geometries / *tool as part of the save process?
This is an issue, which pops up regularly online, with no solution to
date.
Regards & Thanks in advance.
Richard McDonnell
