Using GDAL/OGR wxGUI importer: when changing format list of layers should
be reloaded. Hopefully fixed in r48007, waiting for backport to relbr64.

#1432: wxGUI GDAL/OGR Importer:
changing format doesn't affect list of layers
Hi,
nothing to do with the ticket, but vaguely related:
I notice in trunk that ESRI Shapefile has just been removed as
the default output format. Why is that? It is the most common
choice by far and is a pain to have to type.

usually you forget to define format when you don't want to write out
Shapefile (it happened thousand times when working with PostGIS). It
will just silently write Shapefile and that's the pain. The module is
not called v.out.shapefile, but v.out.ogr. Well, cosmetic issue
compared to others.

similarly, default format (in this case GTiff) should not defined for
r.out.gdal in G7.
