[Qgis-user] disabling qgis.db

[Fuenfer-Koenigstein.Benjamin at swm.de]

Hello,

I have an issue with creating a central QGIS configuration on a network drive. The goal is to have one read-only configuration that all users use. Generally works like a charm with starting QGIS 3.2 with --profiles-path pointing to a read-only dir. Users get the right settings, they still can play around but changes are discarded when quitting QGIS. Only problem is qgis.db, seems that QGIS necessarily needs write access to that file, otherwise it throws an error at start (but works with no problems subsequently). Is there any way to avoid that, e.g. starting qigs ‘silent’ or setting the path to qgis.db to a local user folder? Seems that qgis.db doesn’t contain any crucial configuration, though same bookmarks for all users would be nice to have.
I’m aware of https://issues.qgis.org/issues/13732 and generally understand Nathan’s and Nyall’s point of view but still think it would make sense to ignore qgis.db for use cases like mine.

Thanks for your ideas and help!

Regards

Benjamin Fünfer-Königstein
