Hi Régis,
Thanks for asking Paul to see if the .qgd files can be created only "on
demand" when necessary.
If there aren't any performance problems with .qgz in comparison with
.qgs files, then I would be fine switching to the zipped version by default.

Hi Andreas,
Good point indeed.
In fact, the first implementations where created the database only
when needed and were also spatialite. It was slowing down a lot the
workflow, but now you raise the point, I think this was more linked to
the spatialite db creation time. I'll ask Paul if creating the sqlite
.qgd file can only be done when first required.
Another point, we kept the qgz format optional, but I think that in
the end, we probably should discuss if this is not too complicated. We
could switch to qgz as default format, so that users see only one
file, don't get bothered with qgd or any associated file anymore.
Thoughts?

Hi,
In QGIS 3 there is always a qgd file created alongside with QGIS
projects. I heard that they are used as auxilliary file to store
project specific labels - right?
So far fine - but why are these files always created, even if the
file isn't used? Couldn't we create them on demand when they are
really needed? Currently, they are always created. I almost never
use this feature - yet these files are always created.
I would assume that these extra files are a source of confusion to
our users - and if the project is renamed - most likely they don't
know that this file belongs to the same project and should be
renamed as well - almost as bad as with shapefiles ...
Thanks for your thoughts on this matter,
Andreas
