Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply, and sorry if my question was a bit unclear...

When I want to use e.g. GRASS 7 in Processing, I have to provide the path to 
the "GRASS7 folder" in Processing --> Processing Options --> Providers
From there, in my case e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\QGIS 
Lyon\apps\grass\grass-7.0.3RC2" has been saved as an absolute path to my 
QGIS.ini file in my home directory.

If I use different QGIS versions in parallel (e.g. latest stable and LTR) the 
path can change. Furthermore, I have to update it manually, after each update 
of GRASS or SAGA (because then the paths change as well...

This is what I meant, not the source code...

But maybe it would be better to have the paths themselves more stable... 
Recently, Helmut Kudrnovsky did some work on making RStudio available in the 
GRASS console in OSGeo4W. Maybe something like this is needed to grab the path 
to GRASS, SAGA or R for processing...?  

Cheers
Stefan

Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] Processing provider versions and hard coded path 
in settings

Hi Stefan,

Processing providers are just plugins, so they installed in the global QGIS 
plugins directory. There is no hadrcoding in Processing sources related to the 
providers.
