[Qgis-user] Imported KML files loses format (e.g. colour coding and line size)

[Patrick Dunford]

Hi Winsome

Good to see another user in Chch :)

I think this is true pretty much with any layer you bring in, you would 
find the same if you add any shapefile for example.

You can store the paths when imported into different shapefiles and then 
set a style per shapefile, or multiple styles are possible in one 
shapefile using style rules.
