Hi to all!
Just upgrade grass 6.4 from svn.
In wx GUI:
1)add vector map layer and set some properties
2)display it in map display
3)rename the vector (command line: g.rename vect...)
4)Re-render map in map display
5)get error msg "... Details:
Error: Vector map <pti@area> not found"
6)in Layer Manager ->properties ->"Name of imput vector map" set the
new name of vector map
7)try re-render map display: get nothing.
8)To display vector map (which is just renamed) I have to remove
vector layer from Gis Layer Manager (lost all setting properties) and
re-add.
Is it possible to avoid point 8 (map display refresh with the same
vector with new name)?
This is a user error, not a problem with the GUI. The GUI is behaving correctly. While it would be nice to make the GUI sufficiently robust to deal with such user errors, but I'm not sure how. You have told the rendering system to display a map of a particular name. Then you changed the name of the map. Lacking cyberpsychic abilities, is no way for the rendering system to know the new name of the map unless you tell it. So when it tries to render a map that no longer exists, it correctly gives an error message that the map doesn't exist.

that's right, but Paulo reported something else,
6)in Layer Manager ->properties ->"Name of imput vector map" set the
new name of vector map
7)try re-render map display: get nothing.
<- here the map layer should have been rendered again. Now fixed in
all active branches.

Thanks. My mistake for reading too fast.
