I guess it depends on your situation. For me it has never bothered me
that much, because the very limited styling available in Google Earth (I
never use different line thicknesses, and only a handful of colours) was
eclipsed by the capabilities in Qgis and I now use completely different
customised line styles in Qgis (patterns and dashes and things that GE
could never do)

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your answer! That’s quite annoying though, I assumed
because I could import it directly into ArcGIS without any problems I
would be able to with this program as well. I guess I’ll just have to
go with it!

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.

Hi,
I am a new user and am using QGIS Desktop version 2.18.12. I have
a kml file I have created in Google earth containing lines of
various lengths, thickness and colour. My problem is that when I
import into QGIS (using add vector layer) it only imports the
lines and not the thickness or the colour. I have used a free
trial of ARCGIS to import this file without any problems, so I’m
not sure why it would be an issue with this program.
Best regards,
Winsome Marshall
