Hi all, I'm experiencing problems while deleting vectors from mapsets under GRASS installed with the osgeo4w installer under windows Seven.
As I usually use GRASS under QGIS and I initially guessed it could be something with the plugin, but then I confirmed the problem under GRASS using the standard wxpython GUI. The problem does not seems to affect GRASS I have installed in Ubuntu linux (using the ubuntugis repository). Actually if I want to delete a vector map from a mapset I have to do the operation twice (Sat Nov 06 21:04:18 2010) g.remove vect=provin...@mapset3003 Removing vector <provin...@mapset3003> Unable to delete file 'C:\Users\gio \Desktop/location3003/mapset3003/vector/provinces/hist' couldn't be removed <provinces> nothing removed (Sat Nov 06 21:04:19 2010) Command finished (1 sec) (Sat Nov 06 21:04:27 2010) g.remove vect=provin...@mapset3003 Removing vector <provin...@mapset3003> (Sat Nov 06 21:04:28 2010) Command finished (1 sec) the first try seems to have the only effect to remove the dbf file (the vectors are imported shapefiles), while the second try deletes the remaining folder into the "vector" folder. Under QGIS: when hitting the "delete selected map" in the grass tools browser windows the following message shows "cannot delete map provinces command: provinces g.remove.exe vect=provinces" then the 0_polygon, 1_polygon, etc. do disappear but the name of the vector remains. Hitting "refresh" it produces "cannot open vector ... in mapset ... on level 2 (topology not available, try to rebuild using the v.build module)" Hitting again "delete selected map" just produce the error message "cannot delete map provinces command: provinces g.remove.exe vect=provinces" If I try to remove manually the vector trough the GRASS console (under QGIS) I get: C:\>g.remove vect=pontos GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(1800,1): Removing vector <pontos> GRASS_INFO_END(1800,1) GRASS_INFO_WARNING(1800,2): Unable to delete file 'C:/Users/gio/Desktop/locatio 3003/mapset3003/vector/pontos/hist' GRASS_INFO_END(1800,2) GRASS_INFO_WARNING(1800,3): couldn't be removed GRASS_INFO_END(1800,3) GRASS_INFO_WARNING(1800,4): <pontos> nothing removed GRASS_INFO_END(1800,4) C:\> while manually directly under GRASS I get GRASS 6.4.0 (location3003)> g.remove vect=pontos Removing vector <pontos> WARNING: Unable to delete file 'C:\Users\gio \Desktop/location3003/mapset3003/vector/pontos/hist' WARNING: couldn't be removed WARNING: <pontos> nothing removed GRASS 6.4.0 (location3003)> If someone can confirm is a GRASS problem in the osgeo4w installer I will be able to open a ticket. cheers -- Giovanni -- _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
