[GRASS-user] GRASS toolbar in QGIS

We are discussing possible UI cleanup related also to GRASS:
https://hub.qgis.org/issues/13537

Questions for plugin users:

- Can be open/new/close items removed from the toolbar? There is a
possibility to open mapset from browser and close it from tools dock
widget and there are menu items for all three actions.

- Should we keep Region action (region display on/off) in the toolbar,
it could be moved to the top of tools widget, beside Close mapset
button

- Is it "Open Tools" action in the toolbar useful? It is also in the
menu and tools may be opened like any other docked widget from
Settings > Panels

Hi Radim,

Personally, I do not rely on the buttons in the toolbar, so I have no objections to remove them from the toolbar.
Consistent UI (comparable to Processing) seems an appropriate priority...

Just some ideas for possible solutions:
"Show Region button" might go into the "Region tab" in the grass tools widget (instead of near close mapset)?
Close to the "Close mapset"-button in the tools widget, you might place the "Open mapset"-button from the toolbar?
In a GRASS entry in an "Analysis" Menu, you might place content from the context menu in the browser (GRASS tools settings and so on)?

Cheers
Stefan

P.S.: I shall add that to the ticket...

Hi, testing the new GRASS plugin, i cannot find a way to
start a new project from scratch (option maybe removed while cleaning up
the toolbar);

what I mean: there is no more way to create a new GRASS LOCATION,
so that if there is not an already existing GRASS LOCATION I cannot use
the plugin

or maybe i can not find the way to do it?

Thanks, Roy.

Plugins → GRASS → New Mapset
