Hi Benoit,

sorry for the confusion. I specifically refer to your answer and the
linked project. There is a svg-folder and a folder with the xml-files
from the download.

Setting the path to the svg-folder and then importing the xml is simply
not successful.

As you refered to this project, I assumed that you successfully imported
those styles.

Cheers,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your comments. It seems I've misread Byron's problem and
assumed that his library is wrapped up into an xml file!

In order to use the solution I've provided you need to have an xml
"library" file describing the .svg files.
Then you point *Settings -> Style Manager... -> Import/Export ->
Import Item(s)...*to the xml file not the svg files.


@Byron, open one of your svg files with a text editor. Does the first
line starts with "<svg" or is it '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="no"?>'?
If not you probably have downloaded html files embedding svg images!

Cheers,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,

I just tried to import the symbols from the page you mentioned which
leads to this repository: https://github.com/BC-Consulting/FGDC-4-QGIS/

Now, even with all explanations given, the import seems not to work
properly.

no matter what path I add for the FDGC folder (just the .../FDGC or
the .../FDGC/svg path) , on import, it says, that

- the symbols are already there and gives the option to overwrite or
skip,

This is "normal" behaviour, so just say "overwrite"

- the option to add comma-separted tags (e.g. Geology) does not work,
and no tag at all is given

- all symbols are just question marks

Are those guidelines just precisely unprecise, or am I just to dumb
to understand whats asked from me?

Cheers

Bernd

this seems to have linked to the directory, but i can not figure
out how to see the files.
within the directory, there are several files that show up as
microsoft edge html files with the file types as shown below.

GeoQSymbols/DipDir/001%20Bedding%20(dipdir).svg

Can anyone help me to get these imported.  i can not get them
imported .
