that is not in dispute at all, and has not changed. the change puts things back closer to how they were before. the question is if in future -g should be a defacto debug dump of all possibilities (in shell style), or more limited info as it has been in grass 5 and 6. > A bunch of flags each printing one bit of information in > shell style is IMHO a bit messy, as per last email, "r.info -r elevation" is an elegant and beautiful bit of command line magic to work with, and not something I am going to part with lightly. > one single flag should do (most of the times). in which context? called by a human on the command line or by a module? I agree that if a module/gui tool is calling you might as well consolidate, but when doing custom scripting using g.region, r.info, v.info as fundamental building blocks? In that case no -- K.I.S.S. and don't have 1/2 dozen n= enviro variables overwriting each other. best, Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
