What about a command that lets users safely move a vector
from one locagion into the other?
as above. this is on purpose to protect distinct map projections.
please see my use case where a locations serves global datasets for
other smaller locations.
Or the one with a test / "development" location.
But how to /display/ data from another location?
cp, mv, ln in the mapset if you really want and don't need to reproject.
'display' is no different to any other GIS function- you can either read
map data or you can't.
moving/copying my file manager not a straightforward thing.
copying a vector for instance requires not to forget about the dbf
tables in their directory.
make it a common Mapset not a common Location. or within your
common location make a mapset called 'common' then symlink that around
to other Locations of Exactly the same projection settings.
(no warranty)
As everyone says: "at your own risk" and "no warranty" I would
appreciate to read the proper ways by a GRASS lead developer for the case:
1) location with common data to be reused in other locations.
2) location for testing new approaches before using the working locations
2c POV:
*every* single GIS I have seen which does on-the-fly reprojection has had
on-the-fly is not the topic here. I already asked this in a thread some
time ago and was educated about the GRASS way:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/24911
For displaying data from different locations I would like to try the
GRASS plugin of QGIS.
It's currently not working on my linux box.
Thanks for following-up,
Timmie
