Mhhh. Ok - an example.
We have these mapsets activated with g.mapsets:
neteler PERMANENT dtm belluno
There may be a file 'dtm10' both in 'dtm' and
'belluno'. The user
may have already forgotten that it exists twice.
When using d.rast,
is the mapset search path searched 1. own, 2.
PERMANENT, 3. alphabetically?
If yes, will the user remember that the map exists
twice (I am sure that
he/she won't remember).
Addition: In our project location here we have
around 5000 maps
in 76 mapsets, 8 people are adding maps daily. Like
that I would have to
always run g.list to verify that I pick the right
map, perhaps a
colleage had added a map with same name yesterday in
a mapset which is
in my current mapset search path ....So this problem exists mostly for work-groups.
It seems to me that it's a kind of situation the workflow should make sense
being used. I would try GPWMS should there have been
so many users and maps, to manage the tasks and map's names.
