Re: [QGIS-Developer] QGIS shortcuts on windows. With and without grass

[Sylvain POULAIN]

Hi,

Just my opinion and report from some users : these two shortcuts are
confused. Most users, until they know what is Grass, doesn't understand why
there is two icons ...
In Linux, there is only one shortcut and we could enable or disable grass
plugin so why two shortcut in Windows. I know Windows interface have
redundancy but why doing the same counter intuitive thing in Qgis shortcuts
?

[QGIS-Developer] QGIS shortcuts on windows. With and without grass

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey all,

Just wondering if there is a reason that we have 3 shortcuts to QGIS when
you install on Windows.

- QGIS
- QGIS with Grass
- QGIS with Grass 7.6

Could there be a single exe and always set the grass path?  Given we ship
grass and saga seems odd to run without it given it's only setting the
environment variable at the start from what I can see (haven't looked at
the code).

Has been raised a few times when I have been training people as a source of
confusion.

Regards,
Nathan
