Hi all I have been busy migrating my machine from macOS to Linux / PopOS and I noticed some strange behaviour with how paths for .ini files are stored when restoring my QGIS settings folder from macOSy. I installed both a flatpack version of QGIS (which gets you 3.14 on Pop) and the deb version (gets you 3.10 on Pop). Here is where the various installations put the .ini file:
PopOS Flatpack prefix: ~/.var/app/org.qgis.qgis/data PopOS Flatpack ini: <PREFIX>/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/<PROFILE NAME>/*QGIS*/QGIS3.ini PopOS Deb prefix: ~/.local/share/ PopOS deb ini: <PREFIX>/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/<PROFILE NAME>/*QGIS*/QGIS3.ini macOS all in one DMG prefix: ~/Library/Application\ Support macOS all in one DMG ini: <PREFIX>/QGIS3/profiles/<PROFILE NAME>/*qgis.org <http://qgis.org>*/QGIS3.ini It is a minor difference between QGIS and qgis.org for the ini directory but it does mean that you cannot just copy profiles between machines and users and they 'just work' Does anyone know why we use different paths on different platforms? BTW has anyone had any contact with the person making flatpack recipes? I have some other flatpack install related issues to share...
