[GIS] import kml in qgis : kml.kml is not a valid or recognized data source

kmlqgis

When I import kml.kml (generated from ArcGIS) into Google Earth, there is no problem.

However, when I try importing this file as vector layer in QGIS 1.8 on XUbuntu 12.04, I get this error :

kml.kml is not a valid or recognized data source

I need help to resolve this problem.

Best Answer

Qgis does not like kml folders with mixed geometry types (points, lines and polygons). Try to separate them in individual folders. Each folder will be represented by a layer in qgis.
