bundled with QGIS2. </span></font></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="326594312-05122013">To synthesis the problem, through the GRASS command console, I can't seem to change directory. After launching GRASS, typing DIR or LS produces the contents
of <font color="#000000">C:\PROGRA~1\QGISDU~1\bin. Then I type cd <D:/....../raw_data> to change directory and point GRASS to where my data is stored (and to the directory where gdal_translate writes processed tiff files) - this runs without error. However,
typing LS or DIR then still show the original C:/ directory. </font></span></font></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><span class="326594312-05122013"><font color="#000000">I can run the below script, gdal_translate finds the raw files in the C:/ directory, r.in.gdal finds the processed files in the C:/
directory, and places them in the correct MAPSET. But its not ideal to have to load my C:/....bin directory with hundreds of raw files, then have it filled with processed files, etc. I think this is having other down-stream effects on how GRASS works when
I want to start working with my imported layers. </font></span></font></div>

bundled with QGIS2, on Windows 7. It would be great if someone could check if this CD issue is common to other's similar installations, and if not, suggest what might be wrong with my system.

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013">This does not work, and I see that its because the data files can't be found. So using DIR in the GRASS command console reveals that the search path is C:\PROGRA~1\QGISDU~1\bin</span></font></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013">I can make this work by simply copying the data files to the C:\...\bin directory, but its not ideal as the processed files (the ${file}_prep.tif bit) end up in the C:\ directory. I can also
modify the <for> loop by adding the full file path, but as you can see, that breaks the script at the r.in.gdal line because r.in.gdal then tries to create a db in my Mapset that has a huge directory path in the name ($file), which is not allowed.

<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013"></span></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013">I think there are other issues, for example when I run the script using the C:/ as above, it adds the db to my Mapset (I can see it with r.info), but I then can't seem to add them as layers.
</span></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013"></span></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><span class="492162711-03122013">Very long winded, but the I think the basic problem is that I can't change the path. Launching GRASS as administrator does not help. Ultimately, I'd like to process the raw modis files, add
them to my mapset, and view the layer. Working through the rest of the example in
<a href="http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MODIS#MODIS_Aqua">http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MODIS#MODIS_Aqua</a> also falls over when I get to the Set Colours section with <palette_sst.gcolors> also because I think the path is not correct. </span></font></div>
