     2<mloskot> We may have to deal with: 
     3<mloskot> - ungroupped placemarks (no containers in KML file) 
     4<mloskot> - grouped in flat structure (no nested containers) 
     5<mloskot> - grouped in tree structure (nested containers: folders and documents) 
     6<mloskot> I believe, all these 3 cases have to be handled differently regarding creation of layers 
     7<mloskot> 1) Layers created according to geometry types 
     8<D|dge> a Placemark is always contained by a Document or Folder 
     9<mloskot> Ah, so 1st and 2nd are the same 
     10<mloskot> I forgot 
     11<mloskot> So, we have 2 cases 
     12<mloskot> flat or tree 
     13<D|dge> yes 
     14<mloskot> The case with tree needs special treatment 
     15<D|dge> right 
     16<mloskot> Let's see: 
     17<mloskot> Case 1: All placemarks are of the same type in Folder 1 
     18<mloskot> Case 2: Folder 1 stores placemarks of type of point and polygon 
     19<mloskot> The 1st one is simple: we have one layer 
     20<mloskot> The 2nd case is complicated 
     21<mloskot> We know that we *have to* group placemarks according type of geometry 
     22<mloskot> But what about folder? 
     23<mloskot> ie. if we have Folder 1 (points and lines), Folder 2 (points and polygons), Folder 3 (points, lines, plolygons) 
     24<D|dge> Folder 1.1 points 
     25<D|dge> Folder 1.2 lines 
     26<D|dge> ... 
     27<D|dge> or "Folder 1 - points" -> points 
     28<D|dge> put the contenttype in the name 
     29<mloskot> Right, that sounds like a good combination of groupping levels 
     30<mloskot> Level 1: geometry type: 
     31<mloskot> Level 2: container 
     32<mloskot> What about nested containers? 
     33<mloskot> Do we extend Level 2 to nested levels 
     34<D|dge> hm 
     35<mloskot> where I consider "nested level" as point in which  we create new layer 
     36<mloskot> ie. 
     37<mloskot> Folder 1 
     38<mloskot> - Folder 1.1 
     39<mloskot> - Folder 1.2 
     40<mloskot> - Folder 1.2.1 
     41<mloskot> - Folder 1.2.1.1 
     42<mloskot> here, we may have to create even 5 layers 
     43<mloskot> :-) 
     44<mloskot> For instance: 
     45<mloskot> layer: 
     46<mloskot> folder_1.shp - all placemarks stored directly under Folder 1 
     47<mloskot> folder_1_1.shp - all placemarks stored directly under Folder 1.1 
     48<mloskot> folder_1_2.shp -  placemarks from  Folder 1.2 
     49<mloskot> etc. 
     50<D|dge> yes 
     51<mloskot> I assume we can have to deal with something like this: 
     52<mloskot> Folder 1 
     53<mloskot> - Placemark 1 
     54<mloskot> - Placemark 2 
     55<mloskot> - Placemark 3 
     56<mloskot> - Folder 1.1 
     57<mloskot> -- Placemark 1 
     58<mloskot> -- Placemark 2 
     59<mloskot> Folder 2 
     60<D|dge> right 
     61<mloskot> etc 
     62<D|dge> Folder 1 -> Germany 
     63<D|dge> Placemark 1 -> Border 
     64<D|dge> Folder 1.1 -> Bavaria 
     65<D|dge> Placemark 1 Border 
     66<D|dge> Placemark 2 -> Cities 
     67<D|dge> that would be 2 Files/Layers 
     68<D|dge> Folder 1 with Name Germany 
     69<D|dge> and Content Border 
     70<D|dge> Folder 1.1 with Name: Germany | Bavaria 
     71<D|dge> and Content Border and Cities 
     72<mloskot> Number of layers = number of geometry types 
     73<mloskot> Number of layers does not depend on number of containers  
     74<mloskot> but only on number of geom types 
     75<mloskot> Containers only affect groupping scheme 
     76<mloskot> Am I correct? 
     77<D|dge> no 
     78<D|dge> in my example the Borders are Linestrings 
     79<D|dge> but they would be in two Layers 
     80<D|dge> with spliting the geometrie types 
     81<mloskot> ah, you're perfectly right 
     82<D|dge> my example would do: 
     83<mloskot> my mistake 
     84<D|dge> Folder 1.1 with Name: Germany | Bavaria (linestring) 
     85<D|dge> Folder 1.1 with Name: Germany | Bavaria (point) 
     86<D|dge> so it would be three files/layers 
     87<mloskot> roughly, number of layers = N folders  x  N types 
     88}}}
