The bug has to do with translations.

d.barscale dialog is missing that "Transparent" checkbox when I run GRASS built --with-nls in Polish locale.

If on GRASS terminal I do:

$ export LC_ALL=C
$ d.barscale

the dialog has the checkbox in place.

Fix Polish translation to contain "none". This word shouldn't be translated, it's keyword for option. Module cannot understand, e.g. in Czech

d.barscale bcolor=průhledný

I see. I'm not going to get involved into translations any time soon. I'll just change the subject and component. Thanks for looking into this.

I have fixed the broken translation both in 6.4.svn and 7.0.trunk: r33313 and r33314.

Let me guess: the GUI looks for the string "none" in the description? I think that there should be a separate gisprompt setting for this case.

Even so, the description string shouldn't translate "none".

Yes it looks at label or description.

Currently is used

GISPROMPT_COLOR

i.e

"old,color,color"

Maybe we could use for enabling transparency

"old,color,none"

?

In 7.x, GRASS itself (i.e. libgis) only cares that there are three parts (i.e. two commas), and whether or not the first part is "new" (which affects whether an overwrite check is performed, and whether the --overwrite option is shown).

In earlier versions, it's also used for terminal-based prompting, and must have the form age,element,prompt. The age must be one of old, new, mapset, any, old_file, new_file or color, and affects which G_ask_* function is used to obtain input interactively from the terminal. The element part is used to check whether the user's answer is valid, and to list available options; it should be a valid element type.

IOW, GISPROMPT_COLOR should really be of the form color,?,?.

Beyond that, we need to give some thought to re-designing the type system. The type, gisprompt, multiple, key_desc and options fields should all be merged into a more flexible type system.

I agree, see also #156.
