[Qgis-user] KML to SHP - max. 80 letters TXT fields

[Werner Macho]

Hi!

What you might probably read is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile

Shapefiles have a lot of limitations in it .. but as far as I know you
should be able to have 255 letters in a text field ..

Could you provide such a kml file somewhere to have a look at it?

regards
Werner
