Can you add support for ESRI's .lyr files?

You may be able to use the work North Road has done with their QGIS SLYR plugin to read the .lyr files.

Hey @donnyv,

thanks for thie hint. As the geostyler ecosystem is based on its own exchange format geostyler-style it's not easy to port one-to-one translations.

But there is already a parser that converts geostyler-style to .lyrx files. The geostlyer-lyrx-parser.

As the geostlyer-lyrx-parser that takes care of all Arc GIS related stuff I'll move this issue.

Note: The CLI supports the output of '.lyrx' files since version 4.1.0

Hi @donnyv,

It would probably be possible as their are quite similar, but I currently don't have plan to add legacy .lyr file support.
Ideally, I would add better tests on the .lyrx files before to add these kind of new features.
