Hi,
I would like to rename a set of modules as outlined in
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_7_ideas_collection#rename
Raster:
* rename r.in.gdal to r.import
* rename r.out.gdal to r.export
Vector:
* rename v.in.ogr to v.import
* rename v.out.ogr to v.export
* rename v.mkgrid to v.grid
Database:
* rename db.in.ogr to db.import
Any objections (the motivation is obvious)? I would also update
Hi Markus,
Can you elaborate on the motivation? As it is I feel an obvious objection
is that this implies there is no other way to import raster and vector
data than through GDAL and OGR respectively - but I count 8 r.in.*, 14
r.out.*, 4 v.in.* and 6 v.out.* modules in 7.x. So IMHO it is confusing.
Also v.mkgrid is IMHO clearer than v.grid - in the latter it is not
so obvious what the module does with the grid. I guess it is consistent
with the names of other vector modules though. But changing a module's
name is always confusing (choice of a good initial name for a new module
is thus VERY important).
