a general comment on

“All references to files will be saved as absolute paths “


why does things have to be absolute path especially if you eventually will design for Geopackage that is suppose to simplify portability

can the Path not be divided into two separate names

1) one that is easily changed like a computer home directory which changes depending on computer used

2) project and all of its sub-directories that should not change

this is always a huge issue with us since we work a lot in areas with very poor or no internet connection thus projects have to be loaded on our personal computers or external hardrives.

also when you give a session to a client you always have to go into the project file and change the directory names.

QGIS is not the only program that has this issue and i never quite understood why it was done this way maybe there is a explanation besides its simpler for programers.

thanks

Hi everyone

Here is a new proposal to add support for storage of QGIS projects
inside PostgreSQL (and possibly in other backends in the future):

Any comments would be highly appreciated!

Cheers
