Hey all, I'm seeking ideas on how we can improve the usefulness of the "Project Home" item in the browser panel.
Currently, this item is shown after opening a project, and consists of a directory item showing the contents of the same folder in which the .qgs project file is stored. I really like the idea of this Project Home item, but I can't make use of it because at none of my current workplaces are the .qgs project files stored in the root directory of a project. A more common structure is something like: project_001\ project_001\incoming_data\ project_001\reports project_001\outgoing project_001\data project_001\projects\my_qgis_file.qgs In this case the shortcut to the .qgs folder doesn't help - because none of the interesting stuff is located there. I suspect this isn't an uncommon scenario, and that a lot of workplaces don't store .qgs files in the root directory of projects. Has anyone got any ideas of how we could improve the Project Home item to meet this scenario? Best I can come up with is to add a new setting (booo) in Project Properties to manually set the project home folder... (Note - In an ideal world, ALL file open/save dialogs would have a shortcut to this project home folder available too. It's possible in Windows (see e.g. http://www.pbjzone.com/images/VS2010_open_dialog.png) - but not exposed via Qt (yet) ) Nyall _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
