Hi,

I export a shapefile from FME. The shapefile contains lines and some entries without lines. After that I open it in QGIS. The shapefile looks good, but then I try to edit some specific lines I get an error:

 

CRITICAL   Layer Info : OGR 3] Fehler 1: REPACK of layer 'Info' failed.

 

I try to find a solution for the problem and find a workaround:

  • Export the same shapefile again in QGIS to shp
    • All data inside are the same, only when I try to open it, the header is different
      • QGIS writes "ƒpè": QGIS_shp_Header
      • FME writes ƒè: FME_shp_Header
    • When I copy the three characters from QGIS manuell it works! Why? What do these characters mean?

 

What can I do to get the same output like QGIS?

 

Sry I can´t share the workflow and the data-> workstuff.

 

Thanks for your help. 😃

Check the encoding setting on the shapefile writer in FME. By default it will use your systems encoding. Try setting the encoding to UTF-8

Hi @virtualcitymatt​, thanks for your reply. I try the setting without success. :(

I also try other geometry outputs.
