Hello Community,
I am sending my report for Week 7 (July 13-July 19). The report can also be found in the project wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/…dow.
1) What did I complete this week?
I finalized the PR Add multiple GRASS databases (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741). I also made several smaller PRs related to several issues. As we would like distinguish different layers according to lock and ownership in future, it was necessary to distinguish the label and name of nodes (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/783, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/780). I also changed the order of Layer Manager tabs and a label “Layers” to “Display” (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/802, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/799). Simultaneously, I am working on bigger PRs related to new actions in Data Catalog. The first one adds Create New Location and Download Location actions to the database node in Data tab (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/790, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/747). The second one allows the Delete action on multiple selected mapsets (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/795, https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/791).
2) What am I going to achieve next week?
As the paradigm has quite changed after the community video call on July 15 (startup screen will be probably removed), I will go ahead and add more functions and actions to Data Catalog which is now becoming the center point of the whole management in GRASS. First I am gonna focus on Adding new icons to the data catalog for several actions whose list is still broadening. This is related to the Issue https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/800. There are also other issues related to the Data Catalog I am gonna address:
- Add functionality to load only data from the current mapset in the Data tree (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/749)
- Startup screen: Distinguish mapsets by ownership and lock (see https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/714)
- Check for gislock and other issues when deleting/renaming/editing mapset and location in catalog (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/801)
3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it is not.
Regards,
Linda Kladivova
