But that structure is too complicated as soon as the project is minimally large.
I refer to an editor that would be able to interpret the structure so
that we could
have a tree that could be expanded and collapsed, delete layers etc.A bit
as if you had the legend (or TOC), but not actually reading or
displaying the layers.
Maybe there is an option that would make qgis to act that way.

Never have had such problems with relative paths and have used linux,
mac and Win
qgis versions very often with the data on an external hard disk. Even
if my disk is /media/Iomega in linux and  /Volume/Iomega. in Mac
The realtive path has always worked very well for me.

Thanks!
