I have found it useful to develop an extension that allows me to move
mapping projects (collections of files) around in my file system. I
found that if you moved a layer file(and its related files) then the
Project could not find it. When reloading a layer from a new location
all the style information was lost - has any one solved this problem ,
or is there a way of updating the Project file to match the new location
of layer files??
I have developed a simple UpdateProject extension that will work for me
- but limited to local File Datasources. The idea is that if a file
system is moved, then:
1. Use the UpdateProject extension to load the project file.
2. Check each layer to see if it is found/correctly located,
otherwise update the path reference
3. Save a new Project containing the new paths and all the original
styles.
4. Then, load the Project normally.
5. I assume that all the related files have been moved with the
primary file.
I would be interested to know who else may have had/resolved this type
of problem.
The UpdateProject extension can be downloaded from
