Description

It will be important to have a tool to convert existing .apr (ArcView?/ArcGIS project files) into .qgs projects. As they are both text, parsing them should not be too difficult. This would greatly ease the migration of new qgis users.

Change History

There is/was such a utility that converted from ArcView 3.x to QGIS and other formats but for the life of me I can't remeber the name.

Converting ArcGIS project files would require an ArcObjects tool since the mxd format is binary and can't be parsed.

You can use a tool I wrote  http://gix.sf.net Use it inside ArcView? 3.x to convert views to QGIs projects. Is too old but useful.
