Re: [udig-devel] [jira] (UDIG-1899) Exporting a Shapefile as KML does not work
|
Thanks Mat for the good report.
Frank, did you start already on the kml stuff?
If you didn't I could look into it without creating conflicts. Else
let's see how to proceed.
Cheers,
Andrea

I am suspect that something is going wrong, because I doubt the export would happen as quick as the "Exporting" dialog box appears for. The shapefiles I'm working with are about ~60mb, so it should not be a quick 1 second export... I can only assume.
