  I am not very active in this list, but learn a lot with it.

  A migration to a web based platform that usally screw the messages
contents...   Nah.

  I will miss the list.

  The extension itself surely not, but the contens matters.

  The '.qgs' file is a plain text XML file, that sed(1) has no problem
to work on.

  The '.qgz' file is a ZIP archive that may contain even more than a
single text file.  The '.qgs' file being one of them.   The sed(1)
command doesn't know how to deal with this kind of archive:

$ unzip -l Training_Empty.qgz
Archive:  Training_Empty.qgz
  Length  DateTimeName
-  -- -   
10858  2020-05-28 19:57   Training_Empty.qgs

  Almost, I think. 

  The syntax should be:  sed -i 's/OLDPATH/NEWAPATH/'

  As PATH usually have "/" in it, I suggest to change to:

  sed -i 's#OLDATH#NEWPATH#'

  To have to escape the slashes in the PATHs.

  Two other suggestions would be:

-  Only use sudo(8) if the superuser power is necessary, if the
   files are owned by the user do not use sudo(8).

- instead of using the "-i" parameter, that edit the files in
  place, change the command to produce another new file in the exit.
  In this way if you notice an error in the a pattern (in or out)
  it will be easier to recover.Even better, make a copy of the
  files before trying to edit them.

  Perhaps something like:

$  find . -type f -name *.qgs -exec sed 's#OLDATH#NEWPATH#' {} > {}.new \;

[Qgis-user] Possible bug?

[Fernando M. Roxo da Motta via QGIS-User]

  Hi all,

  Today I was exporting some QGis projects as PNG images
(project>import/export>export map to image).   At certain point I made
a mistake and repeated the name of the previous map, and QGis happily
overwrote the previous image, without asking before.  I tried to repeat
the action giving the full name of the file (map10.png) and QGis asked
for confirmation.The difference was that the first time I gave jjust
a name, without the "extension" .png.

  It seems that even if QGis will give the default "extension" to the
filename, it does not verify the prior existence of the file after it
attach the "extension".

  This was in a QGis 3.26.0 on Linux Xubuntu 20.04.   I know that both
the QGis and system are kind of old, but if this "feature" is present
in current versions it can be cumbersome.
