The problems with old project files are mainly related to print composer 
settings that have been changed internally.


As an alternative, you could save the styles of your layers to qml 
files, and try to create new project files by adding the datasources and 
stylings to that. That way you only have to recreate the print composer 
part of the project files.

Migrating project files is not very well tested, expecially when skipping
versions.  And it's hard to debug without the actual old project file and the
data that goes with it.  Maybe migrating from 2.2 over 2.4 to 2.6 would have
worked better, but that's evenly hard to tell without trying.

No, but that shouldn't make a difference.  The step from 2.6 to 2.6.1 is tiny
(only fixes, no new features that often also change the project file format)
compared the step from 2.2 to 2.6.

But of course that there is no guarantee that nothing will fail in one way or
another and therefore keeping backups cannot do harm.

[Qgis-user] qgis / windows upgrade from 2.6 to 2.6.1

2015-01-25 Thread Tourspur Infopost
Hi everybody,

 

I recently installed qgis 2.6, which caused a series of problems, although I
saved old 2.2 project versions als 2.6 version before continuing working.
E.g. project files collapsed while changing legend items and where
completely destroyed afterwards (impossible to open them again!), or every
time I closed down a project  by "end qgis/project, the system creates
minidump ending files.

 

The Minidump ending problems  should have been solved with the new 2.6.1
version I read. Is there any chance to get an upgrade 2.6.1 file instead of
deinstall qgis 2.6 and reinstall 2.6.1 completely new? Last time I did from
2.2 to 2.6 I lost all my presettings, legend files and so on.

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

Best regards, Claudia
