GDAL's GRASS support uses libgis functions, and there's only one copy of libgis' variables. So when GDAL uses G__setenv() to set the database/location/mapset of the input map, it will affect the process as a whole, not just GDAL. -- Glynn Clements gl...@gclements.plus.com ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

So sharing data between locations is not really supported? Even if I just want to add the layer to the map view? The only operations which access data in a different location are those where the data is necessarily in a different location because it uses a different projection, e.g. re-projection or rectification. In general, if it's possible for the data to be in the current location, then it must be. -- Glynn Clements gl...@gclements.plus.com ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
[GRASS-user] link to datasets from other locations?
Hello grass users, There exist v.external and r.external to link to data which hasn't been imported into GRASS. But in order to save time and disk space I would like to link to data sets from other locations: How do I link to a raster and vector data in another location presuming it has the same projection? Kind regards, Timmie ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
