I am searching for an expression or some assistance in changing filepaths and links to photos within attributes to relative paths.



I have used QConsolidate to create a folder with all the files and links I want.



I would like to create a single folder so I can give the folder to a client and when they install on their system they will have all the connections retained.



I have been finding info on relative paths and thought I had cracked it with @project_folder ||'/data/'|| filename



But this expression does not change the file path when the folder is moved to a different location.

          The plugin QConsolidate works by me. (tested on QGIS 2.18.21)



          May be, bevor to export you have to configurate the project:
          Menu Project - Properties - General - Save paths as "relative".



          After using the pluging, if you open your project file with a text editor (i.e notepad ++), you see the paths are relative between the balises <datasource>./layers/xx.shp</datasource>

          • Thanks. I did try QConsolidate but didn't look at the project file after export. Will check again but not sure if this impacts the filepaths in the attribute table which link to geotag imagery. Would you happen to know the script fro paths in a field. Like I said I used ---@project_folder ||'/data/'|| filename--- but the path doesn't change when folder moved. I am thinking this script is close to what I need. Thanks again
