Actually I didn't even know about the "load map" before the workshop (wasn't using the wx interface much). I always use (and teach) the "add raster". But the workshop was very fast-paced, so maybe they got a little lost and start hovering the mouse over the GUI to find out what the icons do, and starting from the left, "load maps" comes before "add raster".. I still think the workspace icons should go to the far right of the toolbar. >On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 17:37, Robert Szczepanek <[email protected]> wrote: > > Which version are we talking about? > http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/icons/grass2/element-add.png > http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/icons/silk/overlays.png > http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/icons/grass/gui-rastanalyze.gif > > I agree with you.

The explicit one you pointed is better, but still maybe one icon per overlay? (legend, north arrow, text)? cheers Carlos -- Carlos Henrique Grohmann - Geologist D.Sc. a.k.a.
