Collapse GRASS tool list

Must Fix for Release: Yes Awaiting user input: no

Description

Hi,

The GRASS tool list is totally overwhelming. It would be much better if it started out in its collapsed form, instead of all submenus open full.

Rule of thumb: never present more than 12 options in a submenu.

Agreed. We're adding more commands, and the problem will increase with time. I think it will be good to structure the menus more clearly: we're working on a "import/export/vector/raster/3Dvisualization/expert mode/shell" subdivision, but directions will be welcomed.

  • milestone changed from Version 0.8.1 to Version 0.9

Moved to milestone 0.9 since this looks like it involves large changes and in 0.8.x we will only be doing bug fixing / stabilising

please collapse the toolbox listing... I heard many comments about this from GRASS users.

Additional idea: make use of the keywords each GRASS command has - through a search engine as already present for EPSG projection names. That would be a great help. Open a new wish for this?

Again, please collapse the toolbox listing. This is a major PITA. I have updated now to Release-0.10.0 but still it is all expanded...

Thanks Markus

Hi

I will be revising the grass toolbox with module search and module categories before 1.0 release of QGIS. Please bear with us until I get a chance to do this.

Regards

Tim

Please note its still expanded in the 0.11.0 release but there is the new list control with filtering support now in 0.11.0. For 1.0.0 I am doing a larger overhaul of the GRASS toolbox and will make the tree collapsed by default.

I just tried trunk but it appears yet expanded... I keep fingers crossed!

This is on my todo list before we release 1.0 - will get to it once API cleanup is finalised.

Thanks, really appreciated. The toolbox is nicely collapsed also in 1.0.x.

Thanks so much, Markus
