From what I now read and tried, that solution seems to be far from what
Andre wants.
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. (correct?)
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,

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?)
HTH
