[Qgis-user] QGIS Workspace Packager Tool?

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 I don't understand the need for a packaging tool.

 If you organize everything with relative paths and everything 
 well-organized in a project directory you can just zip this directory, 
 move it to a different machine and everything should work fine.

 Where exactly is there a problem with packaging the project?
