Hello,

 

I am new to this software, i have a bunch of KML Files that i have been successfully been able to edit. However when i go to run the software it combines them into the same file, is there a way to have the same number of output files as input? i.e. save individually not combine them

On your KML writer you need to set a Dataset Fanout. See http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Workbench/Workbench/Setting_Dataset_Fanout_Properties.htm

If you are using any transformer that has a Group By option, you can set it to group by fme_dataset.

I did this in the HullAccumulator to aggregate the 237 kml elements from 6 kml files back into 6 features based on their original kml source file (see attached screenshot).
