You should not export to gpkg for this. The media are on your harddisk
anyway. The .gramps is suffucient.

So, I believe, just rename .gramps to .gramps.gz
For .gpkg, you need to select in ark: tar (gzip) I believe.

No it's not. As you use ark, you will have kate.
Just open the uncompressed in kate, search on a name you want to replace.
Select what you want to replace, then press CTRL+R to open the replace
funtion.
Set in what to replace, and click replace all. Not more than a minute work.
