#499: fresh windows startup not very friendly ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hamish | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 6.4.0 Component: default | Version: 6.4.0 RCs Resolution: | Keywords: wingrass startup Platform: MSWindows XP | Cpu: x86-32 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Changes (by hamish):
* priority: trivial => major Comment: > It's designed to be hard ;) I know you are just kidding, but even so I don't think that's an acceptable excuse. not dumbing things down is one thing. keeping it difficult on purpose is another. > Tcl/Tk GUI doesn't check presence of .grassrc6 or any other file. my wish is that it should check for that, and if it isn't found it should pop up a file system browse window to help you choose/create the $GISDBASE dir. > Probably it would be better to remove completely presetting > location etc. in init scripts no way, that's super useful. just deal with the lack of .grassrc6 gracefully, that's all. > As goes for GISDBASE creation, I will take a look into this > problem later this weekend. thanks. I'm bumping the priority higher again as I think this is really very important. I have spread some links to Lorenzo's nice first time user tutorial, which may help. cheers, Hamish -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/499#comment:2> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
