[QGIS-Developer] Boundless (docs) & Central provisioning of QGIS plugins...

It works like a charm! It also works when calling qgis_process so it means there is a way to use plugins outside the default profile (see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/44783). You made my day!

It seems that if there is any duplicated plugin (same name) in the default profile location and in the directory specified by QGIS_PLUGINPATH, only the latter will be loaded. It don't think it's bad, but I think this behaviour should be noted.

Regarding this subject,

I have found this on PyQGIS Cookbook:

Note

By setting QGIS_PLUGINPATH to an existing directory path, you can add this path to the list of paths that are searched for plugins.

So, I am guessing that one could set a folder with plugins in a network location and then setup this environment variable in each machine to have all the plugins available on all machines.

Just guessing, I didn't have the time to test it out.

Hi Richard,

Several core commiters were working at BoundlessGeo back in those days, some are still there, in Planet Federal.

I was there too, and I was responsible for the documentation. Moving part of this documentation to QGIS Docs has been in my to do list for a while, but it never reached the top :-(

Sometime ago, I asked Alessandro Pasoti if those two settings were still valid, and he said that "AFAIK they were valid", but I abandoned the task before even trying it.

I still have the original rst files. In case anyone wants to jump on that task and try it out, I can share it.

Best regards,

Alexandre Neto

It operates a constellation of small earth imaging satellites. I would guess that Boundless Spatial was absorbed into the mapping team<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.planet.com%2Fmarkets%2Fmapping%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C554acea0f44a4108d37308d98745f23e%7C8705e97737814f4790e1c84c8b884da1%7C0%7C1%7C637689556748193958%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=y96XlPrpnhma3PWrKmhoVPnDOvTq%2FPzqZfQBbowtQlU%3D&reserved=0>.  But that's in information-free guess.

It actually became a new division, "Planet Federal": https://www.planet.com/pulse/planet-to-acquire-boundless/<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.planet.com%2Fpulse%2Fplanet-to-acquire-boundless%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C554acea0f44a4108d37308d98745f23e%7C8705e97737814f4790e1c84c8b884da1%7C0%7C1%7C637689556748193958%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=gZiULY8cy8rmNo45mXyerrhX%2FljrE7YfUlQvyx0%2Bucw%3D&reserved=0>
