I'm already working on moving fTools to SEXTANTE and also fix some existing bugs. As work is not complete I don't commit it to the SEXTANTE main repo. If anyone interested, I can upload existing code somewhere. But don't expect much, currently only 15 algorithms reviewed and I even didn't test the

Personally I am not a fan (not yet anyway) of removing the plugins in favour of an interface though only Sextante. I would be happy if fTools could be interfaced and scripted though Sextante but removing from the Vector menu at this current time would be very bad IMO. - Nathan On Tue, Aug 7, 201

Hi Victor, I understand the idea of including all plugins in Sextante, even if only as a wrap for the first times. I just wonder if it will raise some confusion for users who are not aware of this, when they realize that there are algorithms that can not be used in modeler and in batch. They ma

Interesting topic. I think we should try to replicate those functionalities and when they are fully supported in SEXTANTE, maybe remove them in their original form. Something that can be done while that happens is to wrap those algorithms that are a bit harder to adapt to SEXTANTE, wrapping them a

2012-08-06 Thread Alexander Bruy
Hi all, since SEXTANTE will be a part of QGIS core soon (see [0] and [1]) so I want to raise a new discussion related to it. As all you know, currently SEXTANTE contains many providers. Some of them partially duplicates existing core functionality of QGIS. First of all I mean fTools and GDALTools
