#1259: g.remove deletes raster maps by default: could delete the wrong map
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Reporter: benducke | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0.0
Component: Default | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: g.remove, raster, deletion | Platform: Unspecified
Cpu: Unspecified |
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
If I run g.remove with only the name of a non-existing
map, I get this:
g.remove tmp
Removing raster <tmp>
WARNING: Raster map <tmp> not found
WARNING: <tmp> nothing removed
This indicates that g.remove tries to remove a raster of
name "tmp" by default. I am not sure this is good behaviour.
What if the user meant a vector map and forgot to explicitely
type "vect=tmp". In such a case, the wrong map might get
deleted, instead of just an error message being issued.
Also, the synopsis for g.remove does not indicate that there
is a default removal type.
