    12 Toolboxes which are now in GRASS distribution were created from the old menus and submenus and these toolboxes are used to create the same menu as it was before. Toolbox is a list of modules and it maps to one menu or submenu in the GUI. The same structure which is in the menu is also in the search module tab in the layer manager, so toolboxes are also there. If you are not using toolboxes, you get the same menu as before.

    3936There is no GUI to create or edit toolboxes. However, it is not considered as a priority because advanced users can edit XML files directly and beginners are usually not able or not want to do the customization themselves and some advanced user have to do the customization for them. Thus, we suppose that there is no need for GUI. Still, it would be nice to have that but the GUI implementation would be very complicated, probably more than the implementation of toolboxes itself (at least the basic implementation). For the future, the GUI can be added at any point and is partially independent on the concrete toolboxes implementation.

     43For the conversion a XSL Transformation (with EXSLT) was used:
     44 * files:
     45  * attachment:menudata_to_toolboxes.xslt
     46  * attachment:menudata_to_main_menu.xslt
     47  * attachment:menudata_to_wxgui_items.xslt
     48 * example command for transformation:
     49  * `xsltproc menudata_to_wxgui_items.xslt menudata.xml > wxgui_items.xml`
