[Qgis-user] QGis project file with relative paths
Hello all, I have set-up my project file with a bunch of shapefiles. I have removed absolute paths from the *.qgs file with an external editor. Now I'm experiencing the following: If I double-click the *.qgs file in the explorer, QGis opens it up and shows everything nicely. If I open the same file from within QGis (File | Open | ...) QGis asks for every single shapefile layer. Is there something wrong with relative paths in qgs files? Thanks in advance Felix Obermaier -- Ingenieurgruppe IVV GmbH Co. KG Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGis project file with relative paths
Hi! Which QGIS Version? Which operating System? Is Save paths set to relative or absolute in General of the Project Properties or did you just change the .qgis project file? I never changed something in the .qgs file - but everything works nice for me if i set Save paths to relative .. regards Werner Am 23.05.2011 10:15, schrieb Felix Obermaier: Hello all, I have set-up my project file with a bunch of shapefiles.

Sorry, I must have missed that, but where do I have to find that option? If I do it that way, does the project load properly from within QGis?
