[QGIS-Developer] Have plugins installed in all user profiles

[Sergi Maspons - BGEO]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I like the `QGIS_PLUGINPATH` environment 
variable, I'll try it out. It's more a convenience thing, I'm a plugin 
developer and I have many profiles to work on different 
plugins/environments. And some plugins like the Plugin Reloader, debugvs 
or the First Aid plugin are a must for developers. So I was wondering if 
I could have some "global" plugins.

I'm guessing that if I set the `QGIS_PLUGINPATH` then the user's plugin 
directory is not used? Or can I have plugins in both directories and it 
will still work? I'll try it out anyways, thanks again!
