[GRASS5] [bug #2620] (grass) Popup Menue bug r.reclass

[Michael Barton]

Glynn,

I agree with you. The scripts I've done are functional, but klunky
workarounds. 

I can think of at least 2 other modules that need similar (though not
identical) tweaking. db.execute would benefit by allowing the user to type
in an sql command from the gui (like you can from the command line) and not
always have to load this from a separate file; it would be nice if v.reclass
worked like r.reclass as you suggest (i.e., could accept stdin via an xterm
as well as input redirected from a file).

Also, v.in.ascii needs to be able to get input from an ascii points file in
the gui as it does from the command line. I've done a script for this that
is called by tcltkgrass for now. This could simply be a flag to tell
v.in.ascii whether input is coming from an ascii vector file or an ascii
points file.
