<div>Hi !<br>
<br>
</div>
I think the migration should be optional (eg. by
displaying a message on first start if there's a
QGIS2 conf). I'd say this is what most programs do
for major updates. This would allow users who are a
bit messy (like me) to take advantage of QGIS3 to
make a clean start.<br>
<br>
</div>
Also, you'd be able to easily reset to factory
settings by wiping the whole QGIS3 directory (actually
it's by trying to do that and not understanding why
the browser kept my providers that I learned that
config was migrated).<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you think ? Should I open a feature request
?<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Still the feature will definitely be very useful for
most users ! Thank you very much for developing it :)<span

Stefan, you may try to use
global settings for shared
user settings, you can specify
the global settings file path
in several ways (and it could
even be a shared network
folder).</p>

Sorry I was
