[QGIS-Developer] RES: Handle Bad Layers

[Jorge Almerio]

Hi devs,

About the changeDataSource plugin, there is a testing working version (it can be downloaded and installed from zip) for Qgis 3.x on https://github.com/enricofer/changeDataSource/tree/qgis3-migration-test still not on oficial repository.

Regards,

Jorge Almerio

When the project is next opened while connected to the internet these layers would be available without having to enter them again.

I think this is a widely desired feature, and something I'd very much
like to see available "out of the box".

For 2.x there is a plugin "changeDataSource" which allows this
behavior. I don't think that plugin is available for 3.x yet.
