Hi,

some colleagues have problems with shapefiles (really...) that contain polygons 
with self-intersections. The Vector Overlay - Clip tool, for example, cannot be 
executed because the algorithm does not run due to the self-intersection. 
Before executing the tool, the parameter 'Invalid feature filtering' can be set 
to 'Skip (Ignore) Features with Invalid Geometies'. The faulty polygons are 
then skipped, which is not desirable, however.

QGIS offers various options for repairing self-intersections, for example:
1) Vector - Check Geometries plugin: however, this sometimes has very long 
runtimes which might not be acceptable.
2) Vector Geometry - Check Validity
a - Method QGIS: takes a very long time, or does not run through
b - Method GEOS: works correctly and quickly. However, only the first error is 
ever found. This is not convenient for files with many errors.

Does anyone know a good solution for repairing (many) self-intersections with 
high performance in QGIS?

Many thanks in advance,
Werner
