Hi, I have taken liberty to streamline to some extent the parameter and flag of the temporal t.+ modules for consistency (trunk r60608; relbr r60609; more changes may be needed). The changes include
- use macros where possible (some new may yet be defined in the parser); - standard field separator for text output; - make messages identical as needed (potentially less confusion, less work for translation); - split long messages into label/description to avoid overly large GUI windows. The following issues I came across: 1) Suboptimal flag name (-h versus --h) [several t.* modules]: currently: -h Print the column names as first row --h Print usage summary IMHO better invert this to -c behaviour as in v.db.select: -c Do not include column names in output unless there is a strong need to NOT put the column names by default (which I think would be helpful for the user). 2) What does the -s flag do [several t.* modules]: #% description: Activate spatial topology perhaps change to #% description: Check spatial topology ? 3) Wish: The t.list* modules should have a new "output=" parameter like that recently added to g.mlist. This will help e.g Windows users who cannot easily use backticks.
