<p class="MsoNormal">Hello QGIS dev team <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I need to modify QGIS project file at reading (loading) time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The database hostname used in the company is changing soon, and I need this to be transparent for the users.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The problem is that all their layers with the old database connections (uri) will trigger a connection error, having the old hostname.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The idea is to update the .qgs file that is being opened with the new hostname with a text-replacement plugin, save the file, and eventually load it in QGIS.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So that the user will not see any difference or error message.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Sadly, the QgsProject.readLayer signal is sent after the project has been loaded, hence after the connection error messages…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Any suggestion/idea welcome!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
