Thanks for the info. It would be nice if one could have external directories where color tables and such could be stored, but it also sounds like it would be a lot of work for a small return. I think I'll keep my color tables in the etc/ folder and create symbolic links to them in the proper folder. That should be easy enough to maintain.

Cheers,

Mike

I recently added a function to handle an external etc/ folder, but it currently isn't used in the core modules, but was intended more for addon modules that need to use an external etc/.

You can make a feature request to support this in r.colors. I don't know if I'd be able to tackle it - the added function I mentioned strained my limited C skills. That would be a nice feature.

This would only work in 6.3 CVS, if added. There is no such external etc/ function in 6.2 and won't be added there.

Hi List,

I've generated a couple of color rules files that I'd like to persist across version upgrades. Is there a place to put them on Mac OSX where they will be found, but won't be lost when I upgrade? I tried creating them in $HOME/Library/GRASS/6.2/Modules/ etc/colors but it appears that GRASS isn't looking in that location.

Cheers,

Mike

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
