Thanks Jorge
Yes, I toyed with that, but somewhat painful with thousands to process. Has anybody scripted or coded something for this?

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 On 04/04/24 19:28, Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ) via QGIS-User wrote: 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?
