[Qgis-developer] commandline startup option changed in master

[HAUBOURG]

Thanks Nathan,
I agree that current master -configpath behaviour is the right main target. I'm just asking for a way to move homepath, and keep settings in windows registry. This is very specific for enterprises I guess.
Is there any chance to have this in 2.0? I'm on the way to fund bug fixing to help with 2.0 release but what I ask is sort of a new feature. It's just not totally new since I just ask to be able to keep installing 2.0 just like I did for 1.8.
Thanks for your help

Hey,

Wouldn't the new behavior be better as everything is stored in one place.  This is not a bug pre se because before it was leaving the settings in the registry which makes it hard/impossible to make a sandboxed QGIS run environment.  What we might need to do is come up with some better command line options something like --homepath --settingspath etc.

Hi there,
A up to that topic since feature freeze is almost there (sorry I didn't
realize my need earlier).
My corp is using -- configpath option to move profiles to Windows Server
2008 official location (/AppData/Roaming) so that profiles can be
centralized for all servers.  We have .qgis moved, but settings store in
registry.
New behaviour in 2.0 will move profile AND registry to Qsettings files. This
will make it quite hard for us to manage all user settings as we use regedit
tools. *Is there any hope to have a startup option to move only profile for
2.0??? *
If not, I will have to pay for a custom package (which is bad , long and
costy).

We couldn't achieve the alternative option working by cheating qgis with
Symbolic links .. That would have been simpler
