Good day everyone,


I think that statements such as '..This should be very basic stuff for a
Pro GIS Practitioner ( feel free to correct me if I am wrong)..' are
condescending and grossly unneccessary. At the very least, they can be
annoying and detract from what would otherwise have been a great
response.


My aim is not to stir the pot, nor to point fingers at anyone in
particular, nor to elicit any response, but rather to request restraint
(and emotional intelligence) in how we all respond to queries on this
forum.


Regards
Kevin

Hi Mnqweno,

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

Dear All

I need to convert approximately thirteen million  points from shp2kml
using QGIS. I have already split the points into their respective
provinces, districts and the lowest level of demarcation which is an
enumeration area (EA) here at Statistics South Africa. The output file
of the split is the sub-folder named the EA reference number and
containing the points and polygon of that particular EA. I now need to
batch process this conversion using QGIS batch file processor if any is
available or any other free open source tool that can easily serve the
purpose.

Please assist


Kind regards
