[Qgis-user] Quick query re plugins

[Donald, Nigel]

Nathan,

Yes I know what you are saying however this is the path that works as I too have to live with firewalls and restricted access due to security settings ( I have to run as administrator just to save updates to projects)

No. Never put them there. That is the install folder for qgis and all user plugins should live in .qgis2\python\plugins in your user folder, or else they won't show up when you upgrade to a new version.

Hi Nathan,
OK I have tested a couple plugins (all stated as working for 2.x) but they do not show up in the manage plugin list:

C:\Users\landerso\.qgis2\python
Copied into python folder: points2one and profiletool - neither shows up.
Is there another folder to put these in?  Not sure what the issue is.
Cheers
Lester

ok I did not realise that. So will the plugins off http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/ work fine in 2.x?
I only have a few key ones I need to work with.
Cheers

Old 1.8 plugins won't work at all in 2.0. We had a api break.

Hi Nathan,
The old folder for .qgis has the following:
gdal_pam (folder)
python (folder with the plugins)
sextante (folder)
qgis (database file)
symbology-ng-style (XML doc)
.qgis2 is different:
cache (folder)
gdal_pam (folder)
palettes (folder)
processing (folder)
qgis (database file)
symbology-ng-style (XML doc)
I tried copying the python folder from .qgis to .qgis2 and the plugins show up when you check the list, but they are all red , with a comment about missing metadata. Any ideas?
Behind a firewall at work so can't go the normal route for plugins.

Cheers
Lester

Hey Lester,

Any QGIS 2.X version goes into .qgis2 folder with the same setup.

Hello,
If I need to manually install plugins in QGIS 2.6, where do they go? I have the 64-bit version installed.
For 1.8 I had to put them in C:\Users\lma\.qgis\python\plugins (32-bit) - QGIS 2.6 does not read this so the installed plugins list is just the default.
Cheers
Lester
