[Qgis-user] Symbology Export

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Andreas,
I don't believe QGIS exports any KML styling. I was interested in doing a
full style KML export and got this -
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/styling-a-KML-KMZ-file-using-QGIS-td4125929.html-
seems not to be possible.

I'll open a ticket for removing/hiding it. I'd suggest you open a ticket
for expanding it - you know more about it so will be able to write a better
ticket about it. :-)

Regards,
Jonathan
