This should be default for Windows, since it's pretty hard for normal users to find the right place in all those cascaded batch-files. But that's an issue of OSGeo4W packaging - not a QGIS issue. ___ 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

Yep, in this way it is easy to have different QGIS environments (with different settings and plugins for example)... Note that for QGIS3 Nathan is busy/almost ready to create a way to define configurations from the gui (and with it remove the different ways of storing all this info between OS's), see QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals (QEP) 82 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/82 Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ___ 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

Re: [Qgis-user] storage of configs beside .qgis2
Hi, you can define your own Config directory: Create a directory an start qgis with the command: qgis --configpath "path to your config directory" So you get a clean QGIS environment. All settings where stored in your config directory. Best regards, Claas Am 05.06.2017 um 20:23 schrieb Tobias Wendorff: Hi there, I'm on QGIS rel-dev on Windows 7.

;) ... it's not a bug it's a feature but honestly, you might mention this to the Qgis-dev-list. Maybe they just don't have this in mind. Cheers.
