[Gvsig_english] Re: Opening a gvSIG project on another

[ernesto sferlazza]

Hi Sal,
If You cannot copy exactly the same folder structure (e.g., using windows
O.S.,  in the other computer the drive could be "D:" instead of "C:"), an
alternative choice to that suggested by A. Falciano is to edit directly the
gvp file with a text editor, replacing the new paths to the old paths.
Best regards
Ernesto
