#3440: imagery groups and subgroups: get rid of subgroups?
--------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: mmetz | Owner: grass-dev@…

Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.0
Component: Imagery | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: imagery, group, subgroup | CPU: All
Platform: All |
--------------------------------------+-------------------------
For the next major release subgroups could be eliminated from imagery
groups to simplify module options and user interfaces. Everything that is
done right now on subgroups can also be done on groups.

Any opinion?

Comment (by marisn):

(Copypasta from G8 discussion page)
One of options could be auto creating some "magic" subgroups as i.e.
"_all" - all raster maps in a group (aka if subgroup is not set, use all
maps from group); "_initial" - only imported remote sensing layers (equals
"_all" if no new maps are added later); "RGB" - if source is RGB or RGB
can be defined (I would love to be able to have an option to choose a
group in d.rgb and get RGB subgroup selected as a default instead of
searching for separate channels — would require to keep channel metadata
on import)
