[Qgis-user] QGIS for Windows: can the directory ".qgis/python/plugind" be moved?

[Agustin Lobo]

The current windows install sets the
.qgis/python/plugind directory under
C:/Documents and Settings/username

which results on general plugin failure in the case "username" has non-ascii
characters, i.e.
'C:/Documents and Settings/Mauro Rodríguez Rey/.qgis//python'

Is it possible to optionally set the .qgis directory to another
place to avoid this problem?

(does anybody know if this problem has been reported as a ticket? I've searched 
and could not find it, but it's not easy to search for an appropriate keyword in
this case).

Thanks

Agus
