[GRASS-dev] [grass-code I][356] Georectifier auto-extension

code I item #356, was opened at 2007-04-03 22:22
Status: Open
Priority: 3
Submitted By: Francesco Lovergine (frankie)
Assigned to: Nobody (None)
Summary: Georectifier auto-extension
Issue type: module bad feature
Issue status: None
GRASS version: 6.2.1
GRASS component: gis.m
Operating system: Linux
Operating system version: Debian sid
GRASS CVS checkout date, if applies (YYMMDD):

Initial Comment:
Georectifier calls i.rectify with a pid extension. This is quite bad. For instance, when rectifying an hyperspectral image with bands numbered 1..200, you will get many rasters with long random suffixes such as:

myimage.4812345

which is ugly. It would be much more sane asking the user an extension (e.g. I prefer a 'R' suffix for manually rectified images).

This is doable, but complicated, involving creating another dialog box.

I'm trying to focus my development efforts on the new wxPython GUI and do
only minor improvements, optimizing, and bug fixing with the TclTk version
of 6.3 (which is enhanced in a number of respects over the 6.2.1 version
that you are using).

Sorry, but I only have so much time and am devoting too much already to
GRASS GUI development (because I enjoy it). It would be fine if someone else
wanted to add this enhancement.
