[Qgis-user] Have QGIS prompt for profile to use everytime ?

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

I tried to make a quick and dirty cross platform one with zenity that will
work OOTB without worrying about the python environment setup. Didn't work
as planned as the zenity portable app for windows seems a bit glitchy
(there's no way to cancel I could find). Anyway, it should work OOTB on
Gnome, and I share because it might be a handy way for someone to pass
other parameters to a program.

Windows:
--------------------------------------------------
@echo off
@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"
@ SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
@ if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0"
%* && exit

REM Get Zenity Portable and add it to your PATH
REM or keep it in the batchfile dir https://github.com/maravento/winzenity

Set "profilesDir=%APPDATA%\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles"

Set dirs=

for /f "tokens=* usebackq" %%I in (`dir %profilesDir% /A:D /O:N /B`) do (
  Set "dirs=!dirs! %%I"
)

for /f %%X in ('zenity --entry --timeout 10 --ok-label="OK"
--cancel-label="OK ANYWAY" --title "User Profile" --text "Select your
profile." !dirs!') do (
  Set "selectedProfile=%%X"
  ECHO %ERRORLEVEL%
)

REM if %ERRORLEVEL% == 1 exit

if "!selectedProfile!"=="" (
for /f "tokens=* usebackq" %%F in (`findstr /L /C:"defaultProfile"
%profilesDir%\profiles.ini`) do (
  Set defaultProfile=%%F
  for /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%A in ("!defaultProfile!") do (
    Set selectedProfile=%%A
  )
))

%COMSPEC% /C "CALL C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\qgis.bat --profile !selectedProfile!"

EXIT

------------------------------------------------------------


Linux:
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env bash

qgisBin=$(which qgis)

profilesDir=~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles

dirList=$(ls -d $profilesDir/*/)

dirNames=$(for dir in "${dirList[@]}"; do echo "$(basename --suffix=/ -a
$dir)"; done)

dirs=()

for dir in ${dirNames[@]}
do
  dirs=(${dirs[@]} "$dir")
done

selectedProfile=$(zenity --entry --timeout 10 --title "User Profile" --text
"Select your profile." "${dirs[@]}")

# If cancelled, then exit

[[ "$?" != "0" ]] && exit 1

if [ -z "$selectedProfile" ]
then
  selectedProfile=$(awk -F "=" '/defaultProfile/ {print $2}'
$profilesDir/profiles.ini)
fi

$qgisBin --profile $selectedProfile & disown

exit
------------------------------------------------------------
