[Qgis-user] Feedback re future of core c++ plugins in QGIS 3.0

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi Nyall,

Very interesting.  I have a few comments. Where would go If I wanted to encourage more the development of the the new raster calculator for qgis 3 (one that is  multithreaded, GPU enabled and huge raster ready)? This is a real game stopper for using qgis with Lidar data.   I have help with the bugs but can I do more?

I see that lots of stuff below is moved to the processing plugin. I have been continually having problems with this in a multiple user environment where I am stuck deleting the processing plugin folder for every user in a machine every time I do an install.  That means that if 6 users have use a single machine, I need to delete the processing folder 6 times as more often then not, I end up with old and new versions of the processing algorithms on the same computer.  Are you planing to change this or to have some kind of version checker when a users run Qgis after an update?

It also would be nice to do QGIS update from within QGIS and the option to export QGIS to a USB key (without having to change a big bunch of variables). That would make it easier for I user that do not have admin rights.

Nicolas
