Chris,

Thanks for the information. You are right about #1—it is a title issue. I had to rewrite the save and open file routines somewhat, and I haven’t yet debugged the menu access to the routines. It should be easy to fix, as I just need to change the procedures that the menu items change.

Hi again,

Thank you again for the most recent fixes!

I can verify Eric’s errors 1-3 regarding workspace resource files, again working on MacOSX. The only notes I’d add include the following:

  1. Clicking the ‘Open existing workspace file’ button opens a ‘Save File’
    dialog box. Shouldn’t this be an Open File box?

This seems only to be a dialog box title problem: the button does actually open (and not save) a resource file.

  1. Trying to open a Workspace file through File/Groups/Open menu gives an
    error. I’ve attached it as ‘Open Workspace Error.log’.

  2. I created a workspace file from scratch. I added 2 rasters to the gis
    manager, then clicked File/Groups/Save as which gave the error message
    attached in ‘Save_Workspace_Error.log’. I am able to save the workspace
    using the GUI button on the display manager, however. The saved workspace
    file re-opens normally.

While the GUI buttons related to resource files all work for me, the only command under the menus (File>Groups> …) that seems to work is “Close”. By the same token, the only keyboard shortcut that works in this menu is ctrl-W for “Close.”

Hi Michael,

I downloaded gism_rc1_20060201 this morning and gave it a try; thanks for
the updates! We’re definitely getting closer here.

Some observations:

  1. Clicking the ‘Open existing workspace file’ button opens a ‘Save File’
    dialog box. Shouldn’t this be an Open File box?

  2. Trying to open a Workspace file through File/Groups/Open menu gives an

    file re-opens normally.

  4. Most Grass commands typed into the run dialog don’t seem to do anything.
    I only tried a few commands, i.e. g.region -p, d.rast map=rastername don’t
    run, but r.composite does. Do only a subset of Grass programs run in this
    dialog?

  5. Once a code block is pasted into the ‘run’ dialog, clicking the ‘save’
    button produces an error message, which is attached as
    Command_Save_Error.log.

HTH,

~ Eric.

Subject: [GRASSLIST:10120] updates to gism2

I posted to my web site and Markus helped me commit to the cvs a set of
updates to the GIS Manager 2 GUI that addresses some of the issues that
popped up over the last couple days.

I noticed that I cannot produce text overlays on my Mac using d.text or
d.text.freetype. I’d like to know if this is the same under other OS’s
also. d.label does work, however.

d.text.freetype has not worked on the Mac since the upgrade to OSX10.4,
but d.text did work. So I need to know if this is a Mac issue or
everyone has the same lack of text under the new TclTk canvas displays.
If the latter, I can add a TclTk text module that will do essentially
the same thing as d.text.freetype and should work on all systems.
