Hi, Jürgen,
Thanks for explaining the situation. 500MB is definitely too large and
it would be useless data for most users.
Might it be an option to store grid-shift files alternatively also in
the QGIS user directory - I mean the folder where the user stores his
settings, plugins, expressions. I agree that many users wouldn't have
access to the main install directory.
Alternatively, would it be possible to integrate an additional
step/choice in the standalone installer that would download grid-shift
files of interest for the user?
Thanks,
Andreas

Of course there are exceptions.
Yes. proj-dev-data is >500MB (also containing two extra huge grids with of 80
MB & 73 MB each; the latter for just one state in Germany).
Putting it in the regular proj directory from within QGIS might also not be
possible, when a regular user runs QGIS. And internet access to download is
also not a given.
In OSGeo4W this isn't a problem. Downloading from within the standalone
installer could be an option, but that kind of ruins the point of having a
standalone installer.
