Exploding multipart polygons within shapefile in QGIS?

Question

I've got a shapefile with polygons, some of which are multipart polygons. I need to create individual polygons out of the multipart polygons.

Is there a tool or plugin that can do this in QGIS 1.8?

In QGIS 1.8 (Lisboa)

(No plugins required as it is standard)

Vector>Geometry Tools> Multipart to singleparts

This will create individual polygons from multipart polygons.

There also is a Multipart Split plugin, described in another post. It allows you to convert "multipart to singlepart" within edit mode. – jurajb Nov 6 '17 at 14:53
