Detailed Description

User profile manager is used to manager list, and manage user profiles on the users machine.

In QGIS 3 all settings, plugins, etc were moved into a APPDATA%/profiles folder for each platform. This allows for manage different user profiles per machine vs the single default one that was allowed in the past.

A user profile is all settings and anything that used to be found in .qgis3 in the users home folder.

Since: QGIS 3.0

◆ QgsUserProfileManager()

QgsUserProfileManager::QgsUserProfileManager	(	const QString &	rootLocation = `QString()`,
		QObject *	parent = `nullptr`
	)

User profile manager used to manage user profiles for the instance of QGIS.

Definition at line 29 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allProfiles()

QStringList QgsUserProfileManager::allProfiles ( ) const

Returns a list of all found profile names.

Definition at line 142 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ createUserProfile()

QgsError QgsUserProfileManager::createUserProfile ( const QString & name )

Create a user profile given by the name.

Parameters

name

Returns: A QgsError which report if there was any error creating the user profile.

Definition at line 158 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ defaultProfileName()

QString QgsUserProfileManager::defaultProfileName ( ) const

Returns the name of the default profile that has been set in .default.

First checks profile.ini in \profiles folder Then checks defaultProfile in global settings Finally returns "default" if all else fails

Returns: The name of the default profile.

Note: Setting overrideLocalProfile in global settings will always ignore profiles.ini

Definition at line 94 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ deleteProfile()

QgsError QgsUserProfileManager::deleteProfile ( const QString & name )

Deletes a profile from the root profiles folder.

Parameters

name	The name of the profile to delete.

Returns: A QgsError with a message if the profile failed to be deleted.

Note: There is no undo on this as it deletes the folder from the machine.

Definition at line 206 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ getProfile()

QgsUserProfile * QgsUserProfileManager::getProfile	(	const QString &	defaultProfile = `"default"`,
		bool	createNew = `true`,
		bool	initSettings = `true`
	)

Returns the profile from the given root profile location.

If no name is given it returns a profile called "default". By default will create the profile folder if not found. By default will init the user settings.

Parameters

defaultProfile	The profile name to find. Empty profile name will return "default" for the name.
createNew	Create the profile folder if it doesn't exist.
initSettings	if the settings should be initialized

Returns: The user profile

Note: Returns a new QgsUserProfile. Ownership transferred to caller.

Definition at line 40 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ isNewProfileNotificationEnabled()

bool QgsUserProfileManager::isNewProfileNotificationEnabled ( ) const

Returns whether the manager is watching for the creation of new user profiles and emitting the profilesChanged() signal when this occurs.

By default new profile notification is disabled.

See also: setNewProfileNotificationEnabled()

Definition at line 84 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ lastProfileName()

QString QgsUserProfileManager::lastProfileName ( ) const

Returns the name of the most recently closed profile.

Empty if its the first time QGIS has been run.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 120 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ loadUserProfile()

void QgsUserProfileManager::loadUserProfile ( const QString & name )

Starts a new instance of QGIS for the given profile.

Parameters

name	The profile to start QGIS with.

Definition at line 234 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ profileExists()

bool QgsUserProfileManager::profileExists ( const QString & name ) const

Check if a profile exists.

Returns: false if the profile can't be found.

Definition at line 147 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ profileForName()

QgsUserProfile * QgsUserProfileManager::profileForName ( const QString & name ) const

Returns the profile found for a given name.

Parameters

name	The name of the profile to return.

Returns: A QgsUserprofile pointing to the location of the user profile.

Definition at line 152 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ profilesChanged

void QgsUserProfileManager::profilesChanged ( )

signal

Emitted when the list of profiles is changed.

This signal will only be emitted when isNewProfileNotificationEnabled() is true. By default new profile notification is disabled.

See also: isNewProfileNotificationEnabled(); setNewProfileNotificationEnabled()

◆ resolveProfilesFolder()

QString QgsUserProfileManager::resolveProfilesFolder ( const QString & basePath = QString() )

static

Resolves the profiles folder for the given path.

Path will have \profiles appended to the path

Parameters

basePath The base path to resolve the path from to append the \profiles folder to.

Definition at line 89 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ setActiveUserProfile()

void QgsUserProfileManager::setActiveUserProfile ( const QString & profile )

Sets the active profile in the manager.

This can only be set once. Setting this again does nothing.

Parameters

profile The name of the active profile

Definition at line 253 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.

◆ setDefaultFromActive()

void QgsUserProfileManager::setDefaultFromActive ( )

◆ setDefaultProfileName()

void QgsUserProfileManager::setDefaultProfileName ( const QString & name )

Sets the default profile name.

The default profile name is used when loading QGIS with no arguments.

Parameters

name	The name of the profile to save.

◆ setNewProfileNotificationEnabled()

void QgsUserProfileManager::setNewProfileNotificationEnabled ( bool enabled )

Sets whether the manager should watch for the creation of new user profiles and emit the profilesChanged() signal when this occurs.

By default new profile notification is disabled.

Before calling this, ensure that the correct root location has been set via calling setRootLocation().

See also: isNewProfileNotificationEnabled()

Definition at line 66 of file qgsuserprofilemanager.cpp.
