#307: v.in.dxf: output name should be required -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: msieczka | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: Vector | Version: svn-develbranch6 Resolution: | Keywords: Platform: All | Cpu: All -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Comment (by glynn):
Replying to [comment:1 martinl]: > Name of output vector map can be determined from input file name, e.g. file.dxf become 'file' vector map if output parameter is not given. > > It was changed in GRASS7 where output is required. I would suggest leave v.in.dxf in GRASS6 as it is. Agree re: GRASS6, just for compatibility's sake. For 7.x, I have removed this kind of "magic" behaviour whenever I have encountered it. Apart from anything else, it means that the overwrite check has to be performed manually, rather than letting G_parser() do it. It's worse for modules which create new maps (import and analysis). E.g. it might be desired to add an option to the GUI to automatically add newly-created maps to the map display. Obviously that can only work if the GUI knows that a map has been created, and what it's called. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/307#comment:2> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
