r.support sets wrong map title

[annakrat]

There are 2 types of titles for rasters. One is a title specified in 'cats' files, the other one in 'hist' files.

Most modules (maybe all?) which have parameter title to set the title, for example r.in.gdal, set the 'cats' title. However, r.support sets the 'hist' title.

Module r.info reports both as:

Title:    South-West Wake county: Elevation NED 10m ( elev_ned10m ) 

where the long one is the 'cats' title and the one in parentheses is 'hist' title.

Quoting from https://grass.osgeo.org/grass43/manuals/progman42.pdf (page 102, about struct History):

Note. Some of the information in this structure is not meaningful. For example, if the raster file is renamed, or copied into another mapset, the mapid and mapset will no longer be correct. Also the title does not reflect the true raster file title. The true title is maintained in the category file.

So, to conclude, I suggest to change r.support to set the title in category file, not the one in history file.

The question is if we want to modify the r.info title output or not.

In 68746:

r.support: write category title, not title in history file, see #3035

[wenzeslaus]

In 68748:

r.info: make category title the primary, use hist as fallback (see #3035)

This also makes the line shorter, so it more often fits
into the character limit and it does not contain the
stange parentheses (with spaces around them)
which were hard to interpret.

Follows r68746 and r68747.

Old r.info elevation in NC SPM:

 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | Map:      elevation                      ...                               |
 | ...                                                                        |
 | Title:    South-West Wake county: Elevation NED 10m ( elev_ned10m )        |

Current output (r68748):

 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | Map:      elevation                      ...                               |
 | ...                                                                        |
 | Title:    South-West Wake county: Elevation NED 10m                        |

In 69645:

r.info: make category title the primary also when using -e flag, see #3035

Should this be backported at some point?

In 69816:

r.support/r.info: set the right title and show it properly, see #3035 (merge from trunk, r68746-8, r69645)
