[Qgis-user] Add new layer to existing GeoPackage file

[Michael Treglia]

Hi Rick,

Here's what I've done albeit this isn't as smooth as directly doing "save
as" to the gpkg file...:
Save the file as another file type (or another gpkg file);
You can then drag layers from the Layers panel to the .gpkg file in the
Browser panel.

I hope that helps!
Mike
