Hope that it works out, then! The open tools are much more flexible by nature. For example, just about any data transformation workflow you define in QGIS can be implemented as a Python script and then, if needed, be rewritten to not use QGIS at all, just the base tools it uses, and deploy your workflow to an environment that doesn’t even have QGIS. Or you can take one underlying tool and apply them as needed to some other analysis without having to install all of QGIS.
At the risk of being unhelpful and annoying, if there is any way to just use QGIS and open source Python packages that will pay dividends.
not annoying at all. I’ll try and look into it. They weren’t very specific about what the need was.
