Hi,
how can i give folders in kml a description with FME? I was only able to give a description to the document and the placemarks.
In the screenshot, Number 1 is generated with ArcGis, Number 2 by FME with the missing folder description. Thanks for all help in advance!

In the screenshot, neither example has a folder description. The arcgis example has a hyperlink in the kml name.
In order to have anything other than a basic folder you need to create them explicitly rather than implicitly
Each folder should be a feature with the following attributes
kml_id (must be unique)
kml_name (in your example this should be <a href='www.some.link'>Folder Name</a>)
kml_snippet
the kml_name and snippet can be set with the KMLPropertySetter transformer (Name and Summary in the Navigation Tree), the kml_id can be created with an AttributeCreator/Manager
Each feature should have an attribute called kml_parent, who's value is the kml_id of the corresponding folder.

I made a small workspace(test.fmw) where i created the kml_name and snippet with the PropertySetter. In a AttributeManager i created a kml_id=1 and a kml_parent=1. But the generated kml looks like in workspace-output.png. The Folder is not clickable and if i click the feature nothing happens. I am doing something wrong.

To have descriptions and snippets and links therein you need to explicitly create the parent folder as it's own feature, separate from the placemark features.
