G7: r.shaded.relief result not added to layer tree

[neteler]

When calculating a shaded map with r.shaded.relief, the resulting map is not added to the map layer tree. I used "elevation@PERMANENT", NC location

The shaded map is calculated but not added.

Please specify if you've filled parameter output or not.

Because there is a strange thing in G7:r.shaded.relief that output is not required and if you not specify it, a raster with the name <name_of_input>.shade is created. And in this case there is no (easy, currently implemented) way in GRASS how GUI can get know that something was created (this is result of the separate processes design). In the first case, GUI is guessing from the parameters.

The output should be always required, IMO, and the same applies for all modules with the same behavior if there are any.

Replying to wenzeslaus:

No, I did not (so the "strange" default was used).

For consistency (and to make the GUI happy) it would make sense to change it.

Works with G76 (r.shade)
