Description
One can load multilayer data in QGIS (for example Mapinfo TABs), but Save as vector saves only polygons.
It should probably check for how many layers is there and save them all with _line, _polygon etc suffixes.

Hello, bug triage...
as far as QGIS 2.13, when you open a multilayer file, QGIS loads one layer for each geometry type (Point/Line/Polygon). So if you want to save them, you have no other choice than saving each layer one by one.
Is that what you meant by multilayer file (a file with multiple geometry types) ? If it is the case I think we can close this feature request

Hello, bug triage...
I am closing this feature request because there is no feedback after one month and because QGIS doesn't manage multilayers files as a unique layer with multiple geometric types anymore.
Feel free to re-open it with a better explanation of the new feature...
