[GRASS5] Testing Grass 5.3 - v.transform

Radim

Just wanted to let you know. I tested v.transform by typing in the name of a binary vector file (the browse button looks in the dig_ascii instead of dig folder). It worked just fine. Thanks for the tip.

As with GRASS 5.7, I've been doing considerable testing of GRASS 5.3.
Overall, it is highly stable and works very well. Here are a couple of
minor items that perhaps could be fixed before it is released as stable.

1. v.transform does not operate correctly, at least under Mac OSX. It
requires an ASCII vector file as input, looks in the dig_ASCII folder,
but will not recognize an ASCII vector file unless it is put (manually
and incorrectly) into the dig folder. It produces an incomplete output
file (header and attributes, but no vectors). This was a problem on an
earlier release; I have tried this on the the 12 January CVS snapshot
and it is still a problem.

v.transform was rewritten to read and write vector binary file.

Michael,

this is not clear to me:

src/mapdev/v.transform/main.c
[...]
       old->gisprompt = "old,dig,vector";

The version in 5.3-CVS refers to the dig file.

Where did you find the reference to dig_ascii? Maybe in 5.0.3?
