I've never used Discourse so I'm not in a position to compare it's usefulness to the existing email format. I can add one more voice expressing satisfaction with the email approach and how it encourages readers to view everything rather than narrowing focus to topics of

Another great mapping list bites the dust. I used CartoSOC for over 20 years which was great for info and connecting with like minded cartographers, after a merger it became a Forum and died a slow death. Sent from Samsung mobile On 4 Apr 2024 21:29, DancesWithCars via QGIS-User wrote: I won'

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 On 04/04/24 19:28, Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ) via QGIS-User wrote: Hi All I
