[Qgis-user] Moving many project files - bulk updating paths to tables?

[Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ)]

Hi All

 

I am sure I am not the first to ponder how to deal with this.  I have loads,
thousands likely, of project files in a series of folders and subfolders.  I
need to move those files and folders to a new location to enable other staff
to use the project files and their associated shp files, geo packages,
rasters etc.

 

Essentially, I am shifting my entire collection of GIS work to a shared
location for others to start using, so moving from a sole operator to a
shared environment.

 

In my old MapInfo days, I would simply do a bulk search and replace over the
workspace files (text-based so this is easy) and change the paths that need
changing and all would be ok.

 

As qgz files are not easily modified through a text editor, are there any
tools out there to enable bulk changing of file paths in those files? 

 

Any other approaches?

 

Cheers

Tony
