What the Andre wants can be achieved by saving the filesystem-based data in a directory under the project's directory and then setting the project's option to store datasource paths as relative, if that doesn't work it's a bug. Then you can make a zip/tar.gz of the project and the underlying data and send the zip. > 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.
