wxGUI location wizard: Search in description with 0 hits

[hamish]

Hi,

in the latest 6.4.0svn wingrass build from osgeo4w--

• startup with wxgui.
• Define new location via location wizard.
• by epsg code (list comes up now, great to see that fixed!)
• Search in description: _ something with no hits, eg 4326 or typo

At this point the list of codes is empty and the following error message appears on the DOS console window:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0svn\etc\wxpython\gui_modules\location_wizard.py", line 1365, in OnSearch
    self.epsgcode = self.epsglist.Search(index=1, str=value)[0]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable

so I guess two things are needed:

• only try to grab epsg code to fill in "EPSG code: " box if >=1 result was found, and
• automatically reload EPSG codes before each new search (if 0 hits then the 'search in desc' box is unusable until you press the Reload EPSG Codes button.

thanks, Hamish

also in the location wizard, it would be really nice for lat/lon locations if the "Set default region extent and resolution" would accept the "DDD:MM:SS.SSSh" format. (swig G_scan_northing()?)

currently if you try that it gives an error: (e.g. for 48deg South lat) "Invalid value: invalid literal for float(): 48S"

you search in the description, not in the codes - so you get empty list. Use "Reload EPGS codes" to reload the list.

Fixed in r36775.

Done in r36776.

could we release also weekly updated native installer? - to enable users to test recently fixed bugs?

Could the search code be changed to also search in the EPSG codes? I get regularly trapped that it isn't possible (often I want to search for a code to see if I recalled the number correctly)

That would be great. FBK Trento promised to me to set up something like this but I don't know if it will happen. Maybe we should install a buildbot instance at OSGeo?

I'm having some hardware issues right now (my laptop screen died). I'll release another wingrass installer when I get this resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience. However, the files and steps required (recently updated) to make an installer are in the source code if someone else wants to give it a try in the meantime. -Colin

All seems to work fine in the new winGrass I just finished. I'll post it shortly.
