When trying to use ogr2ogr (ver. 1.9) to convert a Shapefile (geometry type Polygon) to file geodatabase (FileGDB) I'm getting an error like "FGDB layers cannot be created with a wkbUnknown layer geometry type.":
$ ogr2ogr -f filegdb out.gdb polygon.shp When adding -nlt it seems to work: $ ogr2ogr -f filegdb out.gdb polygon.shp -nlt POLYGON This is to a) an usual OGR behavior, and b) a show stopper for my script because I don't know before hand (and won't check with ogrinfo) what geometry type the input source is. Seems like there is a problem in the FileGDB driver. Can anybody confirm and explain this bug? Yours, Stefan
