Hi Huidae, hi all,

I am switching to the developers list for a wider audience...

for all: I have found that r.watershed supports CELL only. It seems
to be a big task to update it to FP due to the code structure.

Does anyone see a chance tp modify the raster library for easier code
management (see Huidae's comment above). Maybe we could define some
wrapper functions which are doing all these "switch" jobs without breaking
existing (and already converted) modules?

Kind regards

 Markus
