Hello GRASS GIS Community,
I am sending my report for Week 5 (June 29-July 5). The report can also be found in the project wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/…dow.
1) What did I complete this week?
I ended up adding of the new mapset action to the data catalog (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/731, see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/717):
- adjusting the code in gis_set.py to accommodate the new changes,
- creation of new function in datacatalog/tree called insertMapset for inserting a mapset into a virtual tree,
- adjusting the code in gis_set.py and tree.py to accommodate the new changes.
I also made two other PR related to Data Catalog. First one makes data tab the default in GUI. The Data tab was moved so it is the first tab from the left and it is the default when the GUI opens. (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/756, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/748). Second one merges LocationMapTree? and DataCatalogTree? classes (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/755, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/740).
I have also started to work on a bigger issue which allows users to add additional grass databases as currently, only one database is in the GUI data catalog (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741). Unfortunately, I made the mistake upon committing into GitHub? so now till correction it is also associated with other commits. In this PR I made the toolbar button for adding an existing database and then edited several functions mainly in datacatalog/tree.py that need to handle more than one database. This PR is not finished yet, I am a bit stuck here and need to solve other processing with mentors.
2) What am I going to achieve for next week?
I would finalize on the PR Add multiple GRASS databases (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741). I would also start to work on other issues related mainly to the Data Catalog:
- Add, rename and delete of Location and Mapset in Data catalog (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/710)
- Add new location action to database node in Data tab (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/747)
- Startup screen: Distinguish mapsets by ownership and lock (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/714)
3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it is not.
