Description Catherine Chisholm 2011-01-27 09:42:25 UTC 
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 1.2) 
OS:                Linux

Even if original geolocation coordinates include six decimal places (when in decimal degrees), the Kipi plugin for KML export rounds to only 4 decimal places in latitude and 3 in longitude.  

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
For precision (as is needed in many cases) KML export should incorporate all the significant figures in the original geocoding.

patch to modify the string formating of the doubles

The issue is in the default toString formatting of doubles. So when passing the doubles as an arg to QString, they just need a tad of formatting.
