Hi Richard,
A platform independent solution would be an elegant solution.
What we do (on Windows) is having a folder on a server containing QGIS default
settings (e.g. reg-files for DB-connections, Connections for web services, but
also, most popular plugins, map and print composer templates). These default
settings can be imported by the users by executing a simple batch-script we
produced for that purpose. If that is of interest for somebody I could post the
content of the .bat file...
From that starting point, colleagues can adjust the default settings to their
personal needs and preferences...
This is great - the extra step that I would like to see is that it is
not only built in and automated, but has controls whereby an
administrator could "force" certain PCs on the network to only be able
to use the configs stipulated by the master installation of QGIS.
When one is managing 15+ PCs it is not trivial to make sure that you
have copied identical configs to all of them, and to know when someone
has kindly messed up one of your production PCs.
Rgds,
Zoltan
Cheers

Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] Common QGIS Plugin configuration accross multiple
Linux users
~/.qgis2
and
~/.config/QGIS
You could e.g. rsync the user plugin dirs from a central one, or put
them in an nfs mount (read only might have issues as plugins try to
write .pyc files or even write data to the plugin dir).
The ~/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf is a standard ini style config file so
you should be able to pick through it and awk/sed/bash your way to
nirvana :-)
I'm actually thinking about to make this OS independent, by creating a 'save
QSettings' as file option. Then with a command line option you would be able to
(just before reading the QSettings) actually read/write this settings file back
into user settings. Thereby making it possible to for example transfer a
certain setup across a class room (as long as the plugins are available in
.qgis2 off cours).
Would this work? Or do I miss something?
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde
