TeamKit (QGIS Processing Provider Plugin)

Team toolkit foundation that bundles your graphical models and Python scripts and exposes them in the Processing toolbox under your own, nameable provider with a company/team logo. Runs on QGIS 3.16+ and QGIS 4 (Qt5/Qt6). UI available in German and English (follows the QGIS locale automatically).

Core idea: simple script management for teams

You maintain models/scripts in one central place (a server URL or a network folder). Every QGIS installation on the team syncs with it automatically, so everyone always has the same, current set - without anyone copying files by hand or reinstalling the plugin.

Features

• Automatically loads all *.model3 and *.py from:
  1. the bundled folders models/ and scripts/ (shipped with the plugin)
  2. a writable data folder in the QGIS profile (filled via sync)
• Automatic sync every X days with an external source:
  • an HTTPS URL pointing to a ZIP file, OR
  • a local/network folder (e.g. \\server\share\tools)
  • Syncing mirrors: new/changed files are copied, files deleted from the source disappear locally too, so it's always current.
  • Runs delayed after startup, never blocks QGIS from starting.
• Settings dialog under Plugins ▸ TeamKit ▸ Settings…: team/company name (= provider name), logo (= provider icon), source, sync interval, and a "Sync now" button.

Setting up a central source (recommended)

1. Put models/scripts in one place: either as a ZIP under an HTTPS URL or in a network folder. Any subfolder structure works - *.model3 and *.py are searched recursively.
2. In the Settings dialog, enter the URL or folder path under Source.
3. Set the sync interval (e.g. 7 days; 0 = never automatically).
4. Done - clients sync themselves; manual sync is always available via the button.

Distributing to the team

• Zip the teamkit/ folder.
• Plugins ▸ Install from ZIP → select the ZIP → install.
• Tip: default values (team name, source, interval) can be hardcoded as defaults in settings.py so nobody has to fill anything in.

QGIS compatibility

metadata.txt: qgisMinimumVersion=3.16, qgisMaximumVersion=4.99, supportsQt6=yes. All Qt imports go through qgis.PyQt → works on both Qt5 and Qt6.

Notes

• Scripts must use the class format (class … (QgsProcessingAlgorithm)); the decorator style (@alg.from_function) is not auto-detected.
• Errors show up in the log: View ▸ Panels ▸ Log Messages ▸ "TeamKit".

Translating

Source strings are English. To update the German translation:

pylupdate5 plugin.py settings_dialog.py updater.py -ts i18n/teamkit_de.ts
# edit i18n/teamkit_de.ts (Qt Linguist or by hand), then:
lrelease i18n/teamkit_de.ts
