When tyring to conver an ESRI style file to GPL and / or QGIS using SLYR the following error appears:
This algorithm cannot be run :-(
The MDB tools "mdb-export" utility is required to convert .style databases. Please setup a path to the MDB tools utility in the Settings - Options dialog, under the SLYR tab.
I have tried various mdb tool files and updated the path in settings under tthe SLYR tab, but maybe I have used the wrong one? Any advice / directory is appreciated. Thank you
@jjthebb the first step would be to verify what the install path to mdbtools is on your system. If you open a terminal window and run which mdb-export do you get any helpful output?
@nyalldawson thank you for your message. I don't get any helpful outputs. So what would be the correct place for it?
Does that command show anything? Eg on linux it returns something like /usr/bin/mdb-export
No, it shows nothing.
Did you try brew install mdbtools which will install it into /usr/local/bin/mdb-export
