Comment (by neteler):
I post again to trac:
Real world example which will a problem for the average user:
{{{
GRASS 6.3.0svn (pat): > r.in.xyz d325095655/p325099657.txt
out=`basename d325095655/p325099657.txt` fs=space
Scanning data ...
Writing to map ...
100%
r.in.xyz complete. 0 points found in region.
}}}
(yes, there are points in the file)
All GRASS import programs actually import the map without the need
that the user defines the boundary. Here, the user has to preset the
region
(extra step) and then s/he can import.
Since we cannot change to much in GRASS 6, a flag to avoid this extra step
would be nice, something like:
{{{
-e Scan data file and import complete map
}}}
I am asking because I have to process *many* maps. Sure, I can easily
write a shell script for that but other users maybe not. Also for the sake
of consistency... or rename the module which doesn't make much sense.
