I have about 30 different QGIS Project files for 30 different clients. Each is saved onto my computer and all their relevant vector and raster files are all saved locally.
We are now in the process of moving office and upgrading our computers.
As a result, I need to move all my files from my computer onto the network drive, thus destroying any previous file references.
Aside from manually clicking on each file and looking for each ones new location, is there any other way around this.
(Each project could have a few hundred links to update)
Answer
I'm not sure what version of QGIS you are using, however in v>2.0.1 you may use the "Handle bad layers" dialog like this:
- Select all layers in common directory while holding Ctrl key
- Double click on last one you select
- Re-path one of the layers and select Open
- Repeat process for additional directories
This will batch update file based layers by directory (not database layers):
