Hi, I've been spending some time trying to start QGIS using an .ini file located somewhere other than in the Windows default user location. I tried both --globalsettingsfile and --customizationfile, and although I can get some settings (eg formatLayerName=false) to read from the former, it seems that most settings (e.g. locale) are read from and written to the QGIS3.ini file in profiles. Interestingly if I create a new profile, it uses settings from the qgis_global_settings.ini file I specified in the command line, but the new profile settings are created in the profile folder.
However it looks as though I can use the --profiles-path param to store details of all profiles whereever I want, and that this is probably the way to go in running QGIS in a way which is independent of writing to the user's default Windows folder, and where the startup settings can likewise be held in a location independent of the user. Has anyone used this, and have I got this right? I'm using 3.0.3 by the way. many thanks Ant -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/QGIS-User-f4125267.html _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
