what about a minimalistic welcome screen with 2 buttons for the two main tasks at the beginning of a GRASS session? (1) Open existing GRASS GIS data => opens our actual (and maybe adapted) welcome screen to choose existing locations mapset (2) Create new GRASS GIS data (location, mapset and import your data) => opens our nice locations wizzard with re-ordered options while "create location by data and import it" is the first option the third button links to a small help page about the location/mapset structure. ----- best regards Helmut -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Making-start-of-GRASS-GIS-easier-for-newcomers-tp5182982p5185214.html Sent from the Grass - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
