Description
QGIS 3.4.2 , Windows 10, 64bit
Keep N biggest parts does not consider the input "Parts to keep" returning all the features from the shapefile input and not the number specified, e.g. 1.
Hard disc saving or temp file does not change outcome.
Example that returns all the features without selecting the 3 biggest:
_Processing algorithm…
Algorithm 'Keep N biggest parts' starting…
Input parameters:
{ 'OUTPUT' : 'C:/.../test.shp', 'PARTS' : 3, 'POLYGONS' : 'C:/.../in.shp' }
Execution completed in 0.47 seconds
Results:
{'OUTPUT': 'C:/.../out.shp'}
Loading resulting layers
Algorithm 'Keep N biggest parts' finished_
and from processing command history:
processing.run("qgis:keepnbiggestparts", {'POLYGONS':'C:/.../in.shp','PARTS':3,'OUTPUT':'C:/.../out.shp'})

You're misinterpreting what this algorithm does - it keeps all features from the input layer, removing parts from individual geometries (e.g. multipolygons) until those geometries have the specified max number of parts.

Maybe I am misinterpreting indeed, I was following the documentation explanation from here: https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/vectorgeometry.html#id261
If the case is as Nyall says, then for me the doc was confusing
