The challenge with KML imports is that its free form nature makes it difficult to conform to a table. I have large KMLs with nested folder structures. I find that these large KMLs crash QGIS if I try to import the entire thing and then each point gets rendered as a separate layer.
It wouldn't be hard to write a script that just pulls out all the placemarks and writes them to a point layer, lines to a line layer, and polygons to a polygon layer. What I would loose is the folder structure and styling, but I could easily process large KMLs. I could consider a field in the layers that would be a string of the nested folders that each point, line, polygon were in. Would this be of interest as a plugin? Is anyone doing this already? There doesn't appear to be anything in the plugin repository. Thanks, Calvin
