Error Loading KMZ file with custom placemark #551

Closed lonepine1995 closed 1 month ago

lonepine1995 commented 1 month ago

Hello I get the following error when trying to load a very simple kmz file that has a custom placemark (only 1 placemark)...when I load the file as a kml file with a custom placemark it works...the kmz file is in the attached zip file

error loading data file: C:/Users/PC/Descktop/Bushcamp.kmz: Error extracting Zip file Line: 1

Thanks Bushcamp.zip

For some reason the Qt ZIP extractor (QZipReader) used by GPXSee does not properly extract the KMZ ZIP envelope. You may create a bug report in the Qt bug tracker but from the GPXSee side there is nothing one can do about it.

FYI I have discovered if I change the GE kmz file extension from kmz to zip...unzip the file...then rezip using 7-zip...change the zip extension back to kmz...the file opens both as waypoints or POIs with no errors

Yes, if you "repack" the kmz file using 7-zip (or another ZIP tool not using the special flags/64bit mode, ..., whatever is not supported by QZipReader) than the same KML data works fine.
