Hi Jonathan,<br>
<br>
The thread you are quoting is from 2011. The OGR feature styling was<br>
introduced later (in late 2012 or early 2013 I think).<br>
<br>
So did you really test KML export with "Feature symbology" or "symbol<br>
layer symbology"?<br>
<br>
I just tested it with QGIS master and with line features and different<br>
line colors. It worked. What did you do that it did not work? What<br>
steps? Do you have project/data to share?<br>
