<p>Hi Paul,</p>
<p>1) I use pg_services. I just change one link (to the desired
pg_services.conf file) to change between prod and dev layers. I
don't have to change the QGIS project.</p>
<p>2) To find/replace parts of any XML file, I use the old
xmlstarlet command line tool. Using such tools, the order of the
attributes is irrelevant.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Jorge<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know people will probably ask “why?” in
relation to this question but I’ve got a Powershell script
that I use to create copies of some QGIS projects because I
want to change the data source of a couple of layers between
dev and test. Rather than do this in QGIS it is done as part
of an automation hence using Powershell; I’ve had mixed
results trying to load the QGIS project standalone and so
Powershell felt simpler.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway; the issue I’m getting is that
Powershell is adding a space between the last />. So
<title/> will become <title />. Is there a way to
set QGIS so that the project files are saved with the spaces?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other issue I’m getting is that the
attributes in the elements seem to be moving depending on who
saves it. This is when using QGIS; not Powershell.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I save the project using QGIS and I get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><qgis projectname=”” saveDateTime=””
saveUser=”” version=”” saveUserFull=””><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone else saves it on their device using
QGIS and we get:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><qgis projectname=”” saveUser=””
saveUserFull=”” version=”” saveDateTime=””><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this expected as I would have thought
that QGIS would have kept this consistent?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The version is <span
style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Segoe
UI",sans-serif;color:#242424;background:#E9EAF6">
"3.16.0-Hannover"</span> for all the users.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason I’m asking is that the files are
in source control and given it is XML I would have expected it
to be easy to identify what someone changed but due to the
issues above it tends to claim that almost everything was
changed. This is just because all the attributes are reordered
and the spaces are being added to the end of elements as well.
I can live with it but I thought I’d ask if there is a setting
I can use that will ensure that projects save consistently
really?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any tips would be appreciated but if it is
too technical a question they my apologises.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Paul <o:p></o:p></p>
