kml import fails

[emgalera]

Hi, thank you for this amazing tool. I'm trying to import a .kml file which I exported from Google Maps. It's a layer with around a thousand markers made from a three-column table (marker title, latitude, longitude) but when I press F4, select the file and click OK, GMapCatcher freezes for two seconds and then shows the map again without any of the markers I'm trying to import. I'd really appreciate your help on figuring out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I tried with a kml with only five markers and it doesn't work either.

I did not even remember about this feature, had to look at the code to see what it was...

GMapCatcher/gmapcatcher/xmlUtils.py

Lines 5 to 40 in c6807d4

	def kml_to_markers(strFileName, marker, lookup=False):
	from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
	def getText(nodelist):
	rc = ""
	for node in nodelist:
	if node.nodeType == node.TEXT_NODE:
	rc = rc + node.data
	return rc
	try:
	with open(strFileName) as f:
	fileString = unicode(f.read(), errors='ignore')
	dom = parseString(fileString)
	PlacemarkElements = dom.getElementsByTagName("Placemark")
	except Exception, excInst:
	return excInst
	for element in PlacemarkElements:
	try:
	NameElement = element.getElementsByTagName("name")[0]
	PointElement = element.getElementsByTagName("Point")[0]
	CoordElement = PointElement.getElementsByTagName("coordinates")[0]
	except:
	pass
	else:
	Coord = getText(CoordElement.childNodes).split(',')
	if len(Coord) >= 2:
	strName = getText(NameElement.childNodes)
	if lookup:
	location, c = search_location(Coord[1] + ' ' + Coord[0])
	if (location[:6] != "error="):
	strName += " - " + location
	marker.append_marker((Coord[1], Coord[0], 10), strName, lookup)
	marker.refresh()
	dom.unlink()

My educated guess the format for the markers has changed since this feature was introduced, look at that code and look your kml see if it's still valid
