About
QWorkspace Switcher allows QGIS users to create, save and apply named interface configurations called workspaces. Each workspace defines which panels (QDockWidget), toolbars (QToolBar) and menus are visible, and how they are organized in the QGIS main window. Key features: - Create workspaces by capturing the current QGIS interface - Apply a workspace in one click from the toolbar - Configure button style (text, icon, icon+text, text+icon) - Assign a custom icon to each workspace - Add dropdown menus from other plugins per workspace - Show or hide the QGIS menu bar per workspace - Declarative .psp.json system for third-party plugins - Blacklist system for deleted plugin workspaces - Export/import workspace configuration file - Emergency shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M to restore menu bar Originally developed at CNR (Compagnie Nationale du Rhône) for hydraulic modeling workflows. Designed as a generic, domain-independent tool for any QGIS user or organization.
