@rouault look ok to you? I've tested and it works well under linux, although after calling proj_context_set_search_paths the first path is present twice in subsequent calls to proj_info().searchpath (maybe the existing list isn't cleared?), and I also see the concatenator change from ":" to ";" . Not sure if these are proj issues, or issues in the approach used here. |

@nyalldawson , it'd be good to update the warning message in PR #30040 to indicate the profile location for users to copy the downloaded grid file into. |

Now, proj will search in the current user profile "proj" folder (e.g. .local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/proj" on linux) for grid files and other proj helper files. This allows users (and plugins) to install grid files and make them available for use in QGIS without requiring administrator access to the system.
