[Qgis-user] Profiles

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,
while revising featured plugins, I checked the current situation with
plugins dealing with profiles.
Currently searching for profile
http://plugins.qgis.org/search/?q=profile

returns the following:

 [87] Profile tool

[625] ProfileFromPoints

[789] swath profile

[609] Temporal/Spectral Profile Tool

[33] Profile from Line

[294] qProf

[376] VoGIS-ProfilTool

[127] EarthBeat

[1240] Geo Picker

[407] geopunt4Qgis

There is obviously a large overlap between many of them. We already
analysed this long ago, and things have not improved.
I will be grateful if users:
* could confirm which of the bunch they find most useful
* could confirm whether some of them should be deprecated because it is
not working well
* would help identifying areas of overlap, and help me convincing
authors to merge their work, possibly in just one plugin, better if
within Processing.
All the best, and thanks.
