two points: 1) this hasn't been enacted anywhere in the (active) code. This is just proposal/preparation for GRASS 7. v.type in 6.3 still does type=,,, 2) It is a balance of cost vs benefit. To me, clarity and ease of use is more important than ability to do two things at once. The speed hit is minimal (I expect you could retype a massive 1 million point LIDAR map in a second or two); it would mean we would no longer need a wrapper script to use the module from a GUI; and you no longer have to study the manual to understand how to use it. (or need a 4 line long option description explaining it) Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
