yes, I think this is a possible user case.
All the best.

no particular reasons, just scratching the surface of this exportation
Thanks Matthias for the feedback

Hi Matteo,
What's the ultimate goal of this?
Being able to create shapefiles that are compatible with software that
only supports single-geometry-type features?
Best regards

Another idea..
in the "Export as" dialog there is the chance to choose the geometry
type (no multi, only single) and a checkbox to "Force multi-type". So it
seems missing the option to "Force single-type"
What do you think?
Is it worth a ticket to remind it?
Cheers and thanks
Matteo

So the question is how to write single part features to shapefiles?
I think it might work to use the processing alg "multipart to
singlepart" to write such a shapefile.

good point. the problem remains: older software may accept only
linestrings, and apparently qgis is creating shp with multilinestrings
even in case of single lines. any way to force simple geom during creation?
Thanks.

If I understand correctly, the page states that each *feature* can be
multi- or singletype, whereas the question here was why the whole
*layer* is detected as multitype.

Shapefile of type SHPT_ARC, the corresponding layer will be reported as
of type wkbLineString, but depending on the number of parts of each
geometry, the actual type of the geometry for each feature can
Hi Matteo,
In shapefiles, there is no LineString or Polygon, all line layers are
MultiLineString and polygon layers MultiPolygon.
Only points come in multi and non-multi versions.

Hi devs,
in QGIS 3 a shapefile is recognized as MultiLineString, while in QGIS 2
the same file is recognized as LineString. What could be the reason?
Moreover: is there and option to force to read a shapefile as LineString?
Cheers and thanks
Matteo
