[Qgis-developer] Common QGIS Plugin configuration accross multiple Linux users

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi Richard,

A platform independent solution would be an elegant solution.

What we do (on Windows) is having a folder on a server containing QGIS default settings (e.g. reg-files for DB-connections, Connections for web services, but also, most popular plugins, map and print composer templates). These default settings can be imported by the users by executing a simple batch-script we produced for that purpose. If that is of interest for somebody I could post the content of the .bat file...

>From that starting point, colleagues can adjust the default settings to their personal needs and preferences...

Cheers
Stefan

I'm actually thinking about to make this OS independent, by creating a 'save QSettings' as file option. Then with a command line option you would be able to (just before reading the QSettings) actually read/write this settings file back into user settings. Thereby making it possible to for example transfer a certain setup across a class room (as long as the plugins are available in .qgis2 off cours).

Would this work? Or do I miss something?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
