<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Richard,</div><div><br></div><div>In preparation for a release of Boundless Desktop 2, which would be based on QGIS 3 (I don't know nothing about it now) we prepared some documentation for system administrators.

If so, I would love to put it on our docs.

into the options to centrally setup some options.<br>
<br>
As QGIS has a lot of configuration options, see:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/qgis_configuration.html</a><br>
<br>
it is pretty easy on a linux computer to set these options (either as<br>
alias or just from the command line).<br>
<br>
BUT: I miss (or I cannot find it) in our docs the best way to do this on<br>
Windows? In qgis2 there was the qgis.bat file in which you could add<br>
stuff, but nowadays (at least in the msi installer) the startup seems to<br>
point to a qgis-bin.exe or qgis-bin-g7.exe file?<br>
OR should I not use the options but the environment variables? And then<br>
put them in qgis-bin.env?<br>
I see there is still a qgis.bat ?? Is that used in the msi install (or<br>
for the osgeo4w install)?<br>
Or should I edit "Target" in the Window start thingie properties?<br>
<br>
( a pointer to the docs is also ok :-) )<br>
<br>
About qgis_global_settings.ini, in the above mentioned docs it is written:<br>
<br>
--globalsettingsfile option<br>
Using this option, you can specify the path for a Global Settings file<br>
(.ini), also known as the Default Settings. The settings in the<br>
specified file replace the original inline default ones, but the user<br>
profiles’ settings will be set on top of those. The default global<br>
settings is located in<br>
your_QGIS_PKG_path/resources/qgis_global_settings.ini.<br>
<br>
But what is this qgis_global_settings.ini in my install folder?<br>
Is it used? (I do not think so, as if I change the content of it and<br>
start a new profile, I cannot find my edits)<br>
Or is it only meant as a 'template' for admins to use WHEN then use the<br>
--globalsettingsfile option?<br>
<br>
If the first: how?<br>
If the last: I will then proably add some comments into this ini file,<br>
and maybe rephrase the docs which talks about 'inline default ones'??<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
