[GRASS5] d.colors GUI does not work

Hi Developers,

after fiddeling arround with d.colors I managed that using the GUI does
not work properly.
Perhaps there should be a warning that it should be used from the
commandline.

Perhaps anybody can confirm the behaviour.

Cheers

This is because d.colors must be run in an xterm. To make it work from the
GUI requires a script rather than the autogenerated GUI. I'll try to make
one and commit it soon. Thanks for noting this.

Yes, exactly. Perhaps the are some more modules which work like this,
where this could be applied too.

Thanks for solving this.

confirmed.

I have made the command 'inter' now to avoid GUI; also completed HTML docs
as fake session fails now.

But it still pops up the GUI. Probably due to the fact that it checks
if a raster map layer is displayed on the graphics monitor.

Do we need to switch off this feature? Or is there another trick (see
g.setproj etc)?

Stephan,

I've already done this for r.colors, r.reclass, and r.recode. I'll try to do
something similar for d.colors.
