* status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: Replying to [comment:4 martinl]: > I have modified the dialog to allow remove gislock and > continue (r47226) - I would argue to make the warning a lot more dire and the functionality much harder to access. the user is blocked from starting twice for a good reason, and it's for their own safety whether they realize it or not. Too many people are used to broken software and just click past "an error occurred -> ignore" without thinking about it. since grass can crash too, or the power go out, etc, sure it's nice to allow recovery without filesystem hacks, but perhaps have it launch a second dialog saying "Are you sure? If you really are running another GRASS session doing this could corrupt your data. Have another look in the processor manager just to be sure.." or something like that.
