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

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi Tony,

You can unzip the qgz file and change the text in the qgs files. qgs are 
text files. Afterwards, you can create the zip again with the qgz 
extension or open the qgs file directly.

I hope it helps,

Jorge
