when I start with a project in QGIS, I usually have many different sources where I get datasets from. This can be anything that is (mostly) publicly available in all kinds of projections.
As I progress in a project, there can be many different projected layers in a project file. At some point, there is considerable effort to consolidate coordinate systems during this process, in order to do some analysis on the data (which is why everything should be in a consistent coordinate system).
I usually try to get everything in a Spatialite Database, but there is only limited support within QGIS (most Gui functionality is geared towards Shapefiles).
This usually leads to big folders of Shapefiles with long filenames. Therefore, maintainability is always an issue.
Could somebody point me to resources dealing with dataset organization? Are there any best practices or strategies that could help?
What is a good setup for QGIS dealing with these complexities?
Best regards
Lars
PS: In ArcGIS this was much easier…
