[GRASS-dev] stop button in GUI?

2012-05-24 Thread Michael Barton
There is a stop button in the GUI of all modules. When I press it, the GUI dialog returns to a state where I can reinitiate the module process. But looking in my system monitor, the old process is still continuing. Is this the case for all systems or just the Mac? If for all systems, the stop

[GRASS-dev] reducing screen clutter

2012-05-24 Thread Michael Barton
Periodically, there are complaints about 'screen clutter' with GRASS. I realized yesterday that a big cause of this is that each time a module is called, a new instance of its dialog opens. So if you use v.buffer but don't close the dialog, and then call v.buffer again GRASS opens a second

Maybe we can modify the GUI preferences: Default: All dialog boxes close after a run is complete In Preferences: Tick this box if you want the dialog boxes to be closed manually (i.e. stay after a run) something that direction might meet both edges. From:

This is one way, but not exactly what I was talking about. In fact, sometimes it is very useful to keep a dialog box open to rerun the same module repeatedly with different parameters. What I meant is that once it is open, GRASS should not open additional dialogs for the same module but simply

True that having the same dialogue open several times can be annoying. But not always, it may come in handy if you want to run the same module several times with different parameters (run at the same time, or prepare one while the other is still running; btw, I actually never checked how it is

This sounds like a familiar problem. Most file/web browsers let the choose whether to stay in the same window or open a new one when browsing to a new location. So perhaps there should be an option in the GUI to allow multiple windows per module which could be set to false by default? Ben On
