[Qgis-user] problem with older version

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Boaz,

 

When the layers didn’t appear when opening in the old version of QGIS, did you get any error message? Generally if a layer in a project cannot be found you get the opportunity to find it and reinstate it in the projects (handle bad layers).

 

Maybe in the newer version of QGIS you have ‘relative file paths’ set versus ‘full file path’ – This is under PROJECT settings – Project, Settings, General tab, Save Paths

 



 

There are now a multitude of reasons why you may not be able to fully open a 3.4 project in 2.18, especially when it comes to how layers are styled.

 

Cheers - Phil

hi

 

I use win 10 

I used to work with  few previous versions of qgis  in the last 3 years

 few month ago I started using 3.4.5 and set out a  new project with this version

out of several reasons ( problem with synch my layers with the the local survey ), I tried to use again 2.18.26 ( las palmas) 

while trying to open the last  project  ( which  I did with 3.4.5 ) I was amazed to see that   while opening the project, apart of  5 layer /directories out of 32 directories and dozens of sub directories and layers

the layers that did appear don't have something in common  in relation to what didn't appear.

I hope that I covered enough to get your help

I don't know what to write more

thanks

 boaz
