<p>Good Morning Tshepo,</p>
<p>Please note that I unfortunately cannot give individual support
on QGIS. You should address the South Africa QGIS user group at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:qgis-za-user@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-za-user@lists.osgeo.org</a> that might be able to help. Then
please provide as much information as possible on what you are
trying to do with what functions in QGIS so that it is easy for
the respondents to answer your question. Otherwise it goes
forwards and backwards with lots of emails clogging up everybody's
inboxes.<br>
</p>
<p>But while we are busy: How do you create the KML files from text
files? What do you mean by "all metadata is lost" when you import
the file back into QGIS? Please remember that the KML file is a
very simple XML file which does not store metadata, but it should
store the "labels". The coordinates and the label plus a
description field are the only values the KML can "store", as far
as I know.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Immo<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently downloaded the QGIS 2.18.7 and I
found that when creating kml files from text files, I can no
longer see the labelling of the files in the kml file when I
open it in Google Earth and all the metadata I had previously
is now lost when I import the file back into QGIS. How can I
get around this?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks</p>
