These could then be imported into Google Earth or similar program, the goal being a map with all the legs flown to gaze at. AFAIK, at present, the only way to do this is by opening each leg, choose the "Share" and "Send by Email" function, then retrieve the individual KML (or GPX) for each leg flown... this procedure is cumbersome and time consuming. Is there a better (quicker) way to export those files, or is there an export function somewhere in the desktop or iPad version of SD which I missed?

It sounds like you're asking for a function to bulk convert your flight logs from SkyDemon format into KML format and save them all somewhere. As always we'd consider creating such a function if sufficient demand were demonstrated for it.

No offence, I just like to keep sovereignty over my data, so avoid keeping it elsewhere. If I need what the posters intention may be, I simply import all .KML from the share to GE.

Surprised there is no demand for something as fun and entertaining as this: Contemplating the flown routes on a map for a given year, see where you spent all your money... example here: https://vansairforce.net/community/showthread.php?t=202290
