Init.sh sets them as shell variables; they aren't exported to the
environment.
So I tried the following:
- enter GRASS
- set GISDBASE=c:\GRASSDATA
- run in tclsh
% set location_path "$env(GISDBASE)/$env(LOCATION_NAME)/'
% set dir "user1"
% set element "vector"
% set path "$location_path/$dir/$element/
% glob -nocomplain $path/*
This returns nothing.
When I set GISDBASE=c:/GRASSDATA (forward slash), it returns the list of
complete paths to all elements.
[I missed this part before.]
That makes sense. Tcl uses forward slash internally on all platforms.
It suspect that it requires the use of "file normalize ..." on
Windows.
I can confirm that this seems to be the problem: I had a .grassrc6 file
with c:\grassdata in it. When I change this to c:/grassdata, the select
window works from any working dir. By default (i.e. when there is no
.grassrc6), grass writes the new file in the correct format
(c:/grassdata). Don't know how I ended up with c:\grassdata...maybe I
wrote it manually.
Michael and Javi can you confirm ?

Changing above line to
if {[catch {set env(GISDBASE) [exec g.dirseps -g [exec g.gisenv
get=GISDBASE]]} error]} {
in lib/gis/gui.tcl seems to work for me. Can I commit ?
Should I also change this in gui/tcltk/gis.m/gm.tcl ?
