Greetings!<br>
<br>
I've been a gdal user for at least 3 years, and first of all I have
to say that the work done is impressive.<br>
<br>
Now I face a little problem involving KML formats, and I don't find
the solution in the mailing lists.<br>
<br>
This problem is about KML extendedData tag and its subsequent
childs.<br>
<br>
I have a KML file saved by google-earth with a group of ExtendedData
for every point. This information<br>
is only available in this KML file. I have no other format with the
same data.<br>
<br>
Using ogr2ogr I transform this KML to shapefile or to GML, and all
extendedData data is lost in the new files.<br>
<br>
The inverse (Shp to KML or GML to KML) works as expected, retrieving
all the shape attributes and adding it to the extendedData<br>
tag in the KML result.<br>
<br>
I tested with gdal 1.6 (Debian Build) and with Tamas Szekeres build
for windows (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<br>
Somebody can point me to a solution? or it's a feature not included
in current GDAL?<br>
<br>
Thanks
