Comment:

 I've retested the bullet points of Oct 18th, they have all been
 successfully addressed. The location creation wizard now officially rocks.

 (as long as you already know your county's correct state plane code,
 otherwise you have to run the old text based Q&A. that's a todo for
 another ticket :)


 reopening bug for this:

  * UTM spinbox: only lets you choose zone 0! (also, there is no zone 0, it
 starts at 1)  http://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm

  * weirdness: I see "final proj4 string" in its own popup window both
 before and after the final summary page. probably just left over debugging
 code.. (set by choosing from lists, proj:nzmg datum:nzgd49, datum
 terms:any)  that "final proj4 string" isn't necessarily what you chose (eg
 no datum still shows +towgs84=), but in spite of that the location does
 end up with the correct terms, so ... ?

  * also weird, if I choose no datum transform opts, 'g.proj -j' will
 invent them at the terminal prompt. shrug. (not a wxgui bug, PROJ_INFO is
 fine)


  * perhaps OTT but to emphasize the point: consider adding a second layer
 of "ok, but are you really sure? type in the phrase 'Yes, I am.'!_______"
 when you choose to delete an entire location or even mapset containing
 data. It's ''way'' too easy to mindlessly click the wrong button after a
 long day of field work.


 thanks,
 Hamish
