[Qgis-user] nightly build has lost user profile

[Gavin Fleming]

Hi Marco

I moved .qgis2 and renamed .qgis to .qgis2 and QGIS is still starting as 
if it's a brand new installation, not even showing any plugins.

I'd imagine the reason there's now a .qgis2 is that the new profile is 
incompatible with the 1.8 profile so I wouldn't expect the latest build 
to work with .qgis.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I've just upgrade to the latest build and still no solution.

Gavin
