Zipping and Extracting

[Aung Thura Htoo]

Hello all, I compressed my project file that contains vector folder, qgz file, and table as a zip file. Then extracted all the in another location. Sometimes, one of the layer (even though the layer is ticked) is not showing anything at all on the map. Sometimes, it works. Is it because of the change in folder location? or something else?

Hi Aung

from your problem you can follow this

1. Right-click on the layer that is not displaying, then choose “Repair Data Source” to point it to the correct file location.
2. Go to Project > Properties > General, and check or adjust the “Save paths” setting. If your files have been moved, make sure it’s set to “Relative” only if the folder structure is the same. Otherwise, switch to “Absolute” paths to avoid broken links.

QGIS just got a missing link point to your file.

Hello Ajarn, thank you for your suggestion. I think the folder structure has been the same in my file, so I will try using ‘relative’ path option.
