[GRASS-user] unable to open GRASS mapset under Q-GIS 1.6
Dear all, I want to digitize shapefiles in Q-GIS based on raster layers in a GRASS mapset. But, Q-GIS always complains that the mapset canno be opened, because it is used by another programme. I tried on several computers, but I only was able to open a GRASS mapset under Q-GIS on a computer, where I never started GRASS before. How could I solve this problem. I work under Windows XP with Q-GIS 1.6.

In your file browser, got to your grass database and delete the .gislock file (you need to show hidden files to see the .gislock or any file with a preceding dot.

Hi Nils, there might be a .gislock file on the mapset level you want to work with that wasn't removed for some reason. Try to find that file and remove it. hth Otto Am Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:31:58 +0200 schrieb Niels Thevs th...@uni-greifswald.de: Dear all, I want to digitize shapefiles in Q-GIS based on raster layers in a GRASS mapset.
