Cheers! Yeah, this example INI is an amalgations of 2-3 years of
different QGIS versions.
I tested with a clean profile in 3.22 and even that single version added
data in 4 different ways:
[connections]
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo
ows\items\WFS\connections\items\foo
[qgis]
connections-wfs\foo
connections\WFS
# 3.22 right after adding the connection
...
[connections]
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\authcfg=
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\ignore-axis-orientation=false

Maybe these are all the possible variations (for WFS) that we would need
to consider when trying to transfer connections between profiles with
the plugin?

Hi Hannes,
Not sure if it is documented, and not sure IF they should be at
different places.
But one explanation, IF this is an old profile and you are running
master/own compiled QGIS's, could be that a new Settings regime has
been introduced recently, which changed the 'keys' of (almost all)
settings. Denis can tell you the exact details.
It could be that you have multiple configurations, because of
'intermediate' and old settings... I do not think the new code cleans
up old settings (but it SAVES them).
I've at a certain moment replaced/refreshed some of my profiles
because of settings troubles...
Regards,
Richard Duivenvoorde

Hey guys,
I am trying to polish the Profile Manager plugin
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/profile-manager/ and am having
sliiight troubles with the QGIS3.ini structure. Looking at a
naturally grown profile I found 5 different places in which
configuration is stored for one single WFS connection, mostly
redundantly and I wonder if this is documented somewhere?
Here is an example:
[connections]
ows\items\WFS\connections\items\foo\authcfg =
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\dpi-mode = All
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\http-header =
@Variant(\0\0\0\b\0\0\0\0)
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\ignore-axis-orientation = false
...
ows\items\wfs\connections\items\foo\version = auto
[qgis]
WFS\foo\authcfg=
...
connections-wfs\foo\dpiMode = All
connections-wfs\foo\ignoreAxisOrientation = false
...
connections\WFS\foo\authcfg =
connections\WFS\foo\password =
connections\WFS\foo\username =
I assume that this is from different versions of QGIS? When I created
a new profile in 3.32 I only got lines in the [connections] section
and they were all lowercase. With 3.16 I got entries under [qgis].
- Is the QGIS3.ini structure documented somewhere?
- Are changes between versions documented?
- Is there a way to find out which QGIS version a QGIS3.ini file was
written with?
- Is the structure stable within point releases?
- How far does backwards compatibility go and which entries take
precedence when they are referencing the same thing?
Cheers, Hannes
