Dear Mats,
it is not only a driver support question. In MapInfo tab file the style is
stored for each map element in the tab file. QGIS follows the Shape file
logic where no style information is stored besides the geometry and
atrributes. The only chance to have different styles for the elements in
QGIS is to create a thematic map.
AFAIK it is not possible to fill the gap between
these two different schema upgrading a driver, the QGIS should be
redesigned.
Regards,
Zoltan

Hi!
On the MapInfo list, someone wanted to know why map styles in a MapInfo tab
file does not show in Qgis.
The answer was that the Qgis reader does not support it.
This is a pity since one of the tab file advantages is the ability to store
map styles.
I would like to know if this is a deliberate decision by the Qgis
developer, or if the libraries that Qgis uses are the problem.
