There is a project packager plugin that works pretty well. It may not be 
exactly what you need but maybe the author could be approached for tips on the 
process.

Thanks Jorge



Yes, I toyed with that, but somewhat painful with thousands to process.



Has anybody scripted or coded something for this?



Cheers

Hi Tony,

You can unzip the qgz file and change the text in the qgs files. qgs are text 
files. Afterwards, you can create the zip again with the qgz extension or open 
the qgs file directly.

I hope it helps,

Jorge

Hi All



I am sure I am not the first to ponder how to deal with this.  I have loads, 
thousands likely, of project files in a series of folders and subfolders.  I 
need to move those files and folders to a new location to enable other staff to 
use the project files and their associated shp files, geo packages, rasters etc.



Essentially, I am shifting my entire collection of GIS work to a shared 
location for others to start using, so moving from a sole operator to a shared 
environment.



In my old MapInfo days, I would simply do a bulk search and replace over the 
workspace files (text-based so this is easy) and change the paths that need 
changing and all would be ok.



As qgz files are not easily modified through a text editor, are there any tools 
out there to enable bulk changing of file paths in those files?



Any other approaches?



Cheers

Tony
