<p>I guess it depends on your situation. For me it has never
bothered me that much, because the very limited styling available
in Google Earth (I never use different line thicknesses, and only
a handful of colours) was eclipsed by the capabilities in Qgis and
I now use completely different customised line styles in Qgis
(patterns and dashes and things that GE could never do)<br>

<p>Hi Winsome<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Good to see another user in Chch :)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I think this is true pretty much with any layer you bring in,
you would find the same if you add any shapefile for example.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You can store the paths when imported into different
shapefiles and then set a style per shapefile, or multiple
styles are possible in one shapefile using style rules.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am a new user and am using QGIS Desktop
version 2.18.12. I have a kml file I have created in Google
earth containing lines of various lengths, thickness and
colour. My problem is that when I import into QGIS (using
add vector layer) it only imports the lines and not the
thickness or the colour. I have used a free trial of ARCGIS
to import this file without any problems, so I’m not sure
why it would be an issue with this program.<o:p></o:p></p>
