<DIV><FONT size=2>sorry for the delay, I'm very busy here!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When I talked about expand/collapse GRASS Toolbox tree, I
mainly meant that it would be better to start the toolbox tree collapsed,
instead of expanded, because an expanded tree is too much confusing, IMHO.
Actually, adding expand all/collapse all buttons would be a great thing, along
with the capability of the toolbox to *remember* the last *tree
configuration*: this because I guess that the most users commonly use only few
modules, thus that they would prefer to keep some parts of the tree expanded,
while other (rarely used) collapsed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm finishing to configure my Vista machine (what a mess! 1 GB
of RAM only for the OS, with all the feautures, processes and services reduced
to the minimum necessary set!): on the next hours I'll start to build on Vista
under the MSYS environment, updating some libraries and adding some other
supports (such as OpenSSL, JPEG, OGDI, GML and others...).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>This said, when do you think that QGIS will move from tha
current MSYS build to the MSVC one?</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi Marco<BR><BR>Thanks for the feedback. I will try to build
under msvc here and see <BR>if I can address the issues with the plugin
manager. I think Radim <BR>specifically expanded the tree in the grass
toolbox because you can <BR>access each tool with a single click. Perhaps
we can add some <BR>collapse all / expand all buttons to the toolbox to
support both <BR>people who prefer it expanded and those who prefer it
collapsed. Ill <BR>look into this.<BR><BR>I tested the plugin manager
with my msvc build and will commit a fix <BR>in a few minutes that should
sort out the issue you were
having.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Tim<BR><BR><BR>Em May 26, 2008, às 4:52

[Qgis-developer] GRASS Toolbox list view patch<BR>><BR>> Hi
Folks<BR>><BR>> Here is my first pass at a grass filtered list view for
grass toolbox<BR>> (attached patch). There are still a few
issues:<BR>><BR>> - checkboxes next to items need to be
removed<BR>> - filter box below list needs a
label<BR>> - some funny rendering happens on tab background on
start up, <BR>> just click<BR>> to another tab and then back to the
list view<BR>><BR>> I've been thinking that it might be better to
implement this 'as-<BR>> well- as'<BR>> the existing tree view, so that
if you want to browse the tools by <BR>> heirachy<BR>> you still
can, or if you want to quickly get all the tools that <BR>> e.g.
work<BR>> with ascii, you can just type 'ascii' in the filter box and be
on <BR>> your way.<BR>><BR>> Anyway, will be interesting to get
feedback from heavy grass users <BR>> is the<BR>> list box approach
makes life easier or not. To apply the patch, go <BR>> to the<BR>>
qgis top level dir and do:<BR>><BR>> patch -p0 <
grass_detailed_list_patch.diff<BR>><BR>> You need to be using a current
svn checkout for it to work properly<BR>> (r8522 or
better).<BR>><BR>> Regards<BR>><BR>><BR><BR>Tim Sutton<BR>QGIS
