[GRASSLIST:8306] Tip for future releases

Dear list,

One problem I came across while using GRASS, is that, while executing a command
like r.proj, the output stays on "projecting...", and one doesn't know when it
has finished. Maybe a message like "finished projecting" would help.

Regards,
Kobus

Take my vote for this wish too.

In text mode You always know when module has finished its work, but in
GUI on some modules its a bit of guessing.

Maris.

It would be trivial to add
         fprintf(stderr, "\ndone.");
before the return statement at the end of main() in r.proj, but I won't do it now as it sounds like it might be a wider GUI issue with a better solution. Is there not a percentage bar that gets to 100% or something? Sorry
I don't really use the GUI so am not sure.

agreed.

We have G_done_msg(""); for this.

e.g. r.in.gdal
