[OSGeo Africa] Batch conversion from shp to kml

[Chucker one]

Hi Mnqweno,

This should be very basic stuff for a Pro GIS Practitioner ( feel free to
correct me if I am wrong).
Enable the processing toolbox in qgis and search for convert or translate.
Select convert format under ogr, select run as batch top right corner. Fill
in the parameters.
I would recommend using gdal and python or run as a .bat script and skip
qgis entirely. I realy enjoy qgis but in my experience it tends to be
sluggish at times with large datasets.

Best Regards
