The approach that we are aiming for is this:
In your dgml file you've probably noticed the layer called
standardplaces
In there you can see that the files
cityplacemarks.kml
baseplacemarks.kml
elevplacemarks.kml
otherplacemarks.kml
boundaryplacemarks.kml
should get loaded when displaying this map theme.
Unfortunately the geodata-tags are only half-way through implemented though
(and the standard placemarks currently get loaded hardcoded via a simple ugly
hack). Actually quite a few things specified in the current dgml files don't
work yet as intended but we are getting closer to completion.
The good news is that it should take relatively little work to complete the
geodata implementation so that you can create arbitrary layers that contain
geodata tags that reference your own kml-files instead of the
standardplacemarks.
It looks like Patrick feels motivated to implement this during the next few
days. However any help on this would certainly be appreciated.
Eventually this would mean that you could associate each map theme with layers
of KML files and display them automatically each time you open a map theme.
Is that the solution you are after?
Alternatively you could of course create a render plugin where you display
everything using GeoPainter. While this approach is much more flexible it of
course would involve some coding.
Of course you can always also visit us at #kde-edu on irc.kde.org and ask
questions.
