Re: [QGIS-Developer] Question about proj data files in the QGIS application folder

2022-11-08 Thread Andreas Neumann via QGIS-Developer 

Hi Luca,

There are certain files in this share/proj folder that you should not 
delete, because otherwise QGIS would behave strange:


- copyright_and_licenses.csv (not sure if it s necessary)

- deformation_model.schema.json

- other.extra

- proj.db

- proj.ini

- projjson.schema.json

- README.DATA

- triangulation.schema.json

- world

I also always delete all the other grid shift files that I don't need. 
It is getting a bit overwhelming with all these files (that you never 
need).


Greetings,

Andreas

error message about certain files missing their installation so it 
should be easy to fix.

Hello,

I am preparing the QGIS Windows package file (it's a zip file) for 
distribution in our organization (we don't use MSI).


I noticed that the folder /share/proj contains TIF files and it weighs 
584 MB, are they necessary for the working of the QGIS?


Thank you and have a nice day
Luca

Hello Luca,

Yes, QGIS uses it for do precise coordinate system translations. Your users
may not use all of them, but I would avoid removing it.

You say you don't use MSI, but why don't you use the OsGeo4w installer?
It's much more convenient for larger organizations. You can do a download
only installation to get all packages into a network drive folder, then
reuse that folder for all installations in the users machines.

Also, to update QGIS, all you need is to run the installer again and it
will only download the updated packages instead of all packages. Again,
first installation will fetch any needed packages, the following machines
will just reuse it.
