[Qgis-community-team] MapInfor to QGIS....Please help.....

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Naomi,

Sure both those things are possible.

Do you need to be able to open the layer inside QGIS using Python? e.g do
you plan to have a QGIS plugin which has a open X layer button and when
pressed will open the layer in QGIS
