[Qgis-user] Set relative path [QGIS 1.8.0 on Win XP]

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi Raffaella,
I leave others to deal with absolute versus relative paths, however you can
open the .qgis file itself in notepad and use search and replace to replace
the paths that way. So search for E:\gis_folder\ and replace with
"C:\newfolder\" for instance.
