#500: GUI menu item to swtich GUIs -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hamish | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: default | Version: 6.4.0 RCs Keywords: gui | Platform: All Cpu: All | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Hi,
currently there is no easy way to switch the default GUI from a GUI. e.g. from the native windows build you typically don't start from a command prompt so `grass64 -wxpython` isn't an easy option. If you know how you can do Config -> Settings -> GRASS working environment -> Change settings -> GRASS variable to set -> "GRASS_GUI=wxpython" in the GUI, but that's hardly something that someone could figure out on their own. To make this easier, I've added a new flag to g.gui to update default GUI but do not launch it. (done in r35972, r35973) The GUI menus would need to launch "g.gui -n --ui", or a wrapper fn for g.gui (bash/python template: 'g.gui --script') with the -nu flags hardcoded and only the type pulldown menu available. Then exit with a "you need to restart grass to see the effect" message. Hamish -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/500> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
