Re: [Qgis-user] linux box accessing project-files on a windows server

Hi Thomas,

You can uncompress the qgz project file. Open it in a regular texteditor and check the path for each layer.

How it looks like? Is it a relative path? Does it make sense on thelinux box?


Regards,

Jorge

Hallo Rich,

Thank you for testing and investing time on my problem. That is very
nice. But i think you missunderstood my question, sorry.
I can load shp-files etc from the windows-server. The problem is, that
I want to open a project with a lot of layers (20 and more) that was
created on a windows box with relative paths.

On opening this file qgis asks me for the path for all my layers. Qgis
does not find the layers by itsself like on windows. For all my layers
(shape, geopackage-layers, rasters) i have to point to the directory or
to the geopackage on the file-server. That is very annoying. And i'm
surprised that i'm the only one having this problem.

kind regards

Thomas

I did a quick test. I installed QGIS 3.22 on a Windows 7 computer,
created a project. Switched to Linux Mint, used the file manager to
navigate to the Windows computer, double clicked the project and it
opened correctly. The path that QGIS displays in the properties/info
panel is:
  Path
  /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-
share:server=w7,share=c$/Temp/ASSESSOR_ROADS_2018_3.shp
I went back to the Windows computer, exported the shapefile to a
gpkg, saved the project. Reopened it in Mint, all good. QGIS info for
the gpkg layer:
  Path
  /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=w7,share=c$/Temp/test.gpkg
I also tested putting the gpkg in a folder below the project file and
that opened correctly on the Linux computer.
So I suggest that you start with a simple test project. Also, the
project .qgz file is just a gzipped xml file. So you can unzip it,
open the .qgs file in a text editor and search for "source=" to see
what path info has been saved with the project.

Hallo Nicolas,

thank you for your reply. All my project files are on one network
drive and I prefer to use geopackages. Perhaps it the problem is,
that I install qigs from flathub. I’m wondering about that I am the
only one who uses qgis on linux and want’s to access project-files
on a windows file server.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Hi,

My guess is that the files you are using are, perhaps, in different
drives. If you save with a relative path, I think it will work if
you have files in a simple directory structure but if you have
files from multiple drives, then perhaps QGIS is forced to uses a
drive lettre like  c:\ and that would not go well on a Linux box.

Just a guess

 Hallo list,

sometimes I use a linux mint box with qgis 3.22.3. I have to
access
qgis project files over vpn on a windows-fileserver.

The problem, I can't open these projects. In Qgis (linux-box) i
can
browse to the directory on the windows-fileserver with the qgis-
project
file, but qgis opens a window that shows not available layers. In
fact
no layer of my projet is available.  On my windows box I stored
the
project files with relativ project-path and in qgz format.

What do I not see or what I'm doing wrong?
