[16:40:49]<conservationmave>Hi all! I'm new and trying to import my property boundary as a kml file. Tried to create a new area and then went to upload the kml file, but it said the upload failed because the only files that can be uploaded are image files. Anyone have a work around?
[17:03:44]<paul121[m]>Hello! I think you might want to use the area importer
[17:04:57]<paul121[m]>That will take the KML file and generate areas that you can review before clicking save and creating the areas
[17:08:40]<paul121[m]>Ah but one clarification. The method I described requires the Farm Area Import module to be installed - that is useful for importing multiple areas
[17:10:02]<paul121[m]>But I think it should work for single areas as well
[17:22:59]<mstenta[m]>Actually I think what you want to do is upload your KML file to the Files field on the area
[17:23:12]<mstenta[m]>Not the images field
[17:24:03]<mstenta[m]>The files field accepts KML files, and that's where it needs to be uploaded in order to use the "Find in Files field" button
[17:25:26]<mstenta[m]>[paul121](https://matrix.to/#/@paul121:matrix.org) 's suggestion would work too, but if you already have separate KML files for each area you might as well do it in the Add /Edit Area form
[17:28:54]<paul121[m]>Wasn't familiar with the individual upload! That's great
[17:43:28]<mstenta[m]>Oh yes! That's the original way :-)
[17:43:37]<mstenta[m]>The bulk uploader came later
[17:44:45]<mstenta[m]>This describes both: https://farmos.org/guide/areas/#importing-a-kml-file
