Shouldn't this check for DEFAULT_WIND instead of WIND ?
I can see some sense in that. The only time that PERMANENT/WIND will
actually be used is if PERMANENT is used as the current mapset, which
may never happen. OTOH, PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND must exist in order to
create new mapsets.
In this particular case, I could not enter the location via the GUI
startup, but had no problem using it via the text startup.
There is the same kind of test for mapsets (lines 499ff and 650ff):
if {[file exists "$database/$location/$mapset/WIND"] == 0} {
DialogGen .wrnDlg [G_msg "WARNING: invalid mapset"]
warning \
[format [G_msg "Warning: <%s> is not a valid
mapset"] $mapset] \
0 OK;
}
if { $mapset != "" && [file exists "$database/$location/$mapset/WIND"]
!= 0} {
puts stdout "GISDBASE='$database';"
puts stdout "LOCATION_NAME='$location';"
puts stdout "MAPSET='$mapset';"
putGRASSRC $gisrc_name
exit 0
}
}
Again, should a missing WIND file be a reason to fail entering a mapset
? I think gis_set.tcl should just silently copy PERMANENT/DEFAULT_WIND
to $mapset/WIND ?
