It would be nice of the KML export could preserve a layer's symbology as set in QGIS.

there is the qgis2google plugin. Please ask to have it added to QGIS source code.

Replying to [comment:1 lutra]:

there is the qgis2google plugin. Please ask to have it added to QGIS source code.

This plugin doesn't seem to allow saving to the KML format.

If I wanted to make such a request, how would I do that?

when you have the layers into GE you can always save as kml, right? If you would like the plugin to save directly into kml you have to ask directly to the developers (supporting them is also a good idea), in this case gislab.

I would really love to see this plugin into qgis core, but for now we have to stick with it as... plugin.

In a way or another it does what you ask, so I believe that we can close this ticket. Feel free to reopen.

I am not having success with this plugin in current trunk build. Perhaps it is OS X related, but it would be nice to make this functionality native to qgis rather than plugin-based, unless the plugin is kept current for all OS's.

was the qgis2google plugin added to trunk?

No, it has not been. Because of that, this is reopening the enhancement request to make this a part of qgis rather than relying on a plugin that seems to be untended.

There are several plugins for this. Closing.
