GPSBabel will not read kml file

[Andy Dungan]

Hello, I have just started using GPSBabel to try and convert kml files. My problem isn't related to the type of file I am trying to convert to (I tried Delorme draw, gpx and csv). I have attached one small file I was using to test. I tested with files actually created by Google Earth and still had the same problem. The error message I get in GPSBabel is

XML Reader: Cannot open file 'path and name of file.kml'!

Error running gpsbabel: Process exited unsuccessfully with code 1

I am running W7 Home Prem 64 bit. I tried this with V1.4.2 and then downloaded the beta 1.4.3 and had the same problem with both.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I received one suggestion that there was something wrong with my kml (which there was-thanks tsteven). I redid the kml file and have attached it and two screen shots that actually show the problem when running 1.4.2.

Suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks

Thanx for the more complete test case.

Rats.  I thought I'd fixed this.  The problem is that we're failing to quote the filename and you have spaces in your directory path.   I'll fix this before 1.4.3 but for now just copy the kml to a directory without the spaces.

mainwindow.cpp just needs to quote the five occurrences of bd.inputFilename and bd.outputFilename before use in case anyone else gets to it before I do and is able to submit a patch.   QProcess::start() is supposed to do that on Windows: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qprocess.html#start - we should see why it's not.

It doesn't look like that is it either. I got rid of spaces and the hyphen. Here's another screen shot. Thanks

It looks like you manually added a spurious leading  / in the input.

We used to not let people fiddle with the pathnames to prevent typos like that...
