<p>Hi Régis,</p>
<p>Thanks for asking Paul to see if the .qgd files can be created
only "on demand" when necessary.<br>
</p>
<p>If there aren't any performance problems with .qgz in comparison
with .qgs files, then I would be fine switching to the zipped
version by default.</p>

<div>Hi Andreas,<br>
</div>
Good point indeed. <br>
</div>
In fact, the first implementations where created the
database only when needed and were also spatialite. It was
slowing down a lot the workflow, but now you raise the
point, I think this was more linked to the spatialite db
creation time. I'll ask Paul if creating the sqlite .qgd
file can only be done when first required. <br>
<br>
</div>
Another point, we kept the qgz format optional, but I think
that in the end, we probably should discuss if this is not
too complicated. We could switch to qgz as default format,
so that users see only one file, don't get bothered with qgd
or any associated file anymore. <br>

Thoughts?<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>In QGIS 3 there is always a qgd file created alongside
with QGIS projects. I heard that they are used as
auxilliary file to store project specific labels -
right?</p>
<p>So far fine - but why are these files always created,
even if the file isn't used? Couldn't we create them on
demand when they are really needed? Currently, they are
always created. I almost never use this feature - yet
these files are always created.</p>
<p>I would assume that these extra files are a source of
confusion to our users - and if the project is renamed -
most likely they don't know that this file belongs to
the same project and should be renamed as well - almost
as bad as with shapefiles ...</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughts on this matter,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
