I have been thinking about changing all the options dialog.

However I am not sure about including GRASS, it is more complex to use. You can use a SAGA algorithm without knowing what SAGA is, but to use a GRASS one, you need to understand some GRASS ideas, so it is an advanced process, and the simplified algorithm classification shouldn't assume that. You can always change to the advanced view to use GRASS (now you can change directly from the toolbox, no need to go to the config dialog) 2) I would like to have in that list, only those algorithms that need no extra configuration, to make that the default and have it working out-of the box. That's why R and OTB, for instance, are not in there. > * IMHO OTB is a big plus for Sextante, as it brings many brand new functions, > unavailable in most other desktop GIS; so I suggest to: > > * include OTB in the standalone win package (easy, as it is already in > osgeo4w) > * add its default path according to the running distro; for users, adding > it by > hand can be difficult > * I noticed that the Mean shift segmentation produces a vector with the Y > axis inverted good idea. If OTB goes into osgeo4w, I could add the OTB algorithms to the simplified list of algorithms I still have to send Jurgen the SAGA package as we discussed it in the Hackfest. We can put both SAGA and OTB, and taht would really give a lot of power to SEXTANTE Thanks for your ideas! _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
