IMHO default values should work (as before). Is layer 1 *genuinely* special? I.e. is there some reason why it *should* be the default layer? As it stands, the default behaviour of d.vect in 6.x is to display *some* data without any indication that it isn't displaying all of it. I can see an argument for silently selecting layer 1 *if* a map only has one layer, although this is practically asking for people to write scripts which can't be used on maps with more than one layer. If a map has multiple layers, where= is given, and layer= is not given, then an error seem preferable to silently producing "incomplete" output. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
