Hi all, first version of toolboxes for wxGUI is released (for GRASS GIS 7) and is available in trunk. The main purpose of toolboxes is the wxGUI menu customization. The current implementation of toolboxes does not influence the set of installed or available modules. The toolboxes are the possibility to create different highly specialized menu layouts.
Users, which are able to edit XML, can now create toolboxes which contain modules from GRASS distribution, existing toolboxes (from the distribution) and modules from addons or their own modules. These toolboxes or set of toolboxes (in the toolboxes file) can be copied and shared, and users, which are able to copy the file into the .grass7 directory, can use them. Note that distribution of toolboxes is now not connected to the distribution of modules itself. GUI front-end is not available. The main menu (main menubar) is treated separately in the separate file with slightly different structure but its very similar to toolbox and it follows the same concepts. Note that you need to create your custom toolboxes.xml file or main_menu.xml file into your $HOME/toolboxes directory to see toolboxes in action. For the detailed description please see Programmer's Manual [1] and for future consideration and development issues see Trac [2].
