[Qgis-user] creating one portable QGIS project

[Andreas Neumann]

For storing the .qgs file in a geopackage you can simply do "Project"
--> "Save As" --> "Geopackage". 

I think you could even have multiple .qgs project files in a single
Geopackage.

One can fix this in a few minutes by setting up the correct paths, but this is very annoying. And once the paths are set correctly, all the symbology from the layer properties is lost (or reset to some standard).
