It is possible to export in WKT format by copying then pasting into a
text editor. However, there is no WKT option when exporting via Layer ->
Save As. Is there a particular reason for this, or is there a
development list where I could request this?

Hi Andrew,
WKT is a format for geometries and not a file type. Therefore it is not
possible to offer a save as WKT just like that. You can however easily
choose Comma Separated Value as export format and then choose AS_WKT in
the Geometry combobox under layer options.
Best regards,

Thanks for the info. I've just tried this and there appears to be a bug
in it. I'm using the country border data from here:
http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-cultural-vectors/
If, for example, I select Iceland and export as you suggested, the
column for the polygon data is truncate
That sounds like it's hitting some sort of line limit. Might be a bug in
OGR. You could try writing WKT to a column first, but it would have to
be in a layer type that supports long text fields.
That said WKT is not a great format for complex geometries. Perhaps you
can tell us your goal and we ca
KML isn't a good choice, as it's always Lat/Lon WGS84.
GML might work, but give GeoJson a shot first - it's simpler than GML to
parse (actually little or no parsing required).
Did you try ogr2ogr on the commandline to make sure it's not a bug in
the QGIS writer for long lines?
Thanks,

Hi,
I think the WKT issue is an OGR one :
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5508
It should work in QGIS master

That was my suspicion. Though since it's an OGR issue, you just need a
newer GDAL/OGR not necessarily newer QGIS.
Updating just GDAL/OGR depends on your operating system but should be
possible on most systems.
Thanks,
