#831: v.category options sum, del, and add do nothing --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: isaacullah | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: major | Milestone: 7.0.0 Component: Vector | Version: svn-develbranch6 Resolution: | Keywords: v.category Platform: All | Cpu: All --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Changes (by cmbarton):
* status: closed => reopened * type: defect => enhancement * version: 6.4.0 RCs => svn-develbranch6 * resolution: invalid => * milestone: 6.4.0 => 7.0.0 Comment: This is worth keeping open as an enhancement request rather than a defect. v.category dates to an era when vectors did not routinely have attribute tables, but only cat and label values like rasters. For vectors with attribute tables, v.category becomes highly problematic. If it alters the cat values without altering the corresponding cat values in the associated attribute table, all links between the vector objects and their attribute data are irretrievably lost (or lost with out a great amount of work to retrieve them). My suggestion is to add a flag that will allow v.category to simultaneously change the cat value in the vector AND the corresponding cat in the linked attribute table of same layer. Because this enhancement request is a change in functionality, I've also bumped this to milestone 7.0 -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/831#comment:4> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
