[GRASS-dev] wxGUI: "Search modules" tab is lacking import/export

Hi,

(surprisingly) the "Search modules" tab does not have any content from
the "File" menu, i.e it is lacking import/export etc.
Is there a reason for that? It is a bit misleading...

Hi, this is known issue [1]. The thing which is need to decide is what

will be the layout of this part of the tree. Certainly we don't want the
whole File menu in the tree. We want just the import/export separately.
Post your ideas here. Adding the actual items to the tree should be easy.

we added the import/export/link toolbox and a few additional into the tree

(r59026).

Thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to make them more visible, i.e. above "Raster"? I
feel that users would expect them (also) in an own section in the
tree.

For me, "Import, export and link data" is the first item. See screenshots.
The items should be in the same order as in
`gui/wxpython/xml/module_tree.xml` file.

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/gui/wxpython/xml/module_tree.xml?rev=59026

Note that you need to do make distclean (or make clean in gui/wxpython) to
get the new toolboxes. But if you see them but at different place, it is
strange.

OK, after a new recompile it comes up as expected.

No idea what happened before (perhaps too much multitasking myself?),
now it looks great.

thanks
