From what I now read and tried, that solution seems to be far from what
Andre wants.
It seems, you can save it TO a gpkg and not AS a gpkg.
So in case your complete project data is not already stored within a
gpkg, it won't collect and dump it as QConsolidate does. (correct?)

Maybe someone could shed a light about an best-practice-approach, how to
organize and store the data so this tool will give a smooth workflow.
(thinking e.g. of how to deal with big permanent datasets on networks
drives etc. )

Cheers,

Bernd

For storing the .qgs file in a geopackage you can simply do "Project"
--> "Save As" --> "Geopackage".
I think you could even have multiple .qgs project files in a single
Geopackage.

Dear community,

I want to export a QGIS project. In this project there are a few
layers (the path for each layer is set according to where the data
is saved on my computer). I can open the project on my computer and
all the layers are available.
But when I send the project (and all the data for the layers -
everything is in one repository) to a colleague, he can not view the
layers (because the paths are still set according to my computer).
One can fix this in a few minutes by setting up the correct paths,
but this is very annoying. And once the paths are set correctly, all
the symbology from the layer properties is lost (or reset to some
standard).

Is there a way to save a QGIS project and all the related data as
one file (so that another person, who opens this file on its own
computer, does not have to set up all the paths and edit the
symbology)?

Try the QConsolidate plugin from Alex Bruy:
https://github.com/alexbruy/qconsolidate
available from his plugin repo (or github)
https://plugins.bruy.me/qconsolidate.html

It is also possible to export your data to an geopackage yourself, as
you can also save symbology for layers into a geopackage, and..., wel
you would need to sent 2 files then: the gpkg with you data+symbology
and your QGIS project file
(was there a plugin to write your projectfile into a gpkg?)
