[Qgis-user] Default QGIS project file to open plugins automatically

[Markus Weidenbach]

Hi Giovanni and Andreas,

thanks for your help, but still, for some strange reason only about 2/3 
of the activated plugins (or extensions, I am running the German version 
and I am not sure about the English term used) remain active when I 
start a new project or when I re-start the previous one.
Many plugins I activated before and which I wanted to use permanently, I 
had to activate again in the QGIS Extension/Plugins Manager Window, such 
as the 1-Band Raster Colour Table, the QGIS File Browser, the Raster 
Calculator, the Import Project, MMQgis, the OTB Plugin and many others.

In the Extension Manager Window the location of the Plugin Directory is 
indicated as C:\OSGEO4W\apps\qgis\plugins but in fact there are only a 
few *.dll files of all activated plugins. Other locations of the python 
plugins, which remain active, are C:\OSGeo4W\apps\qgis\python\plugins.
And in the directory C:\Users\markus\.qgis\python\plugins you can find 
ALL de-activated python plugins PLUS many activated python plugins.

Strange, but could the paths to the plugin directories be the reason?

Andreas, I checked version 1.6 and unfortunately there is no startup 
parameter called --optionspath, a very useful feature, that might be 
implemented in future versions.

Regards,

Markus
