Hi, I'd like to report some unexpected behaviour from ogr2ogr (FWTools2.4.7 in Windows 7) when attempting to append to a MapInfo TAB file.
To recreate this issue, I first run the following to create a new MapInfo table from a SHP file: ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo file" C:\Output C:\Input\states.shp This successfully generates a MapInfo table at C:\Output\states.tab. Now, I attempt to append the source data to the new table (not a realistic example, I know): ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo file" C:\Output C:\Input\states.shp -append What happens here is that, instead of appending to the MapInfo table, it generates a new SHP file: C:\Output\states.shp. I experience this behaviour whether the source is SHP or TAB. The slightly dangerous element to this issue is that if the input and output folders are the same, the source file (if it's SHP) gets appended to itself. Has anyone experienced this issue?
