You asked for it. So here comes. (; Georeferencing UI is EXTREMELY bad.
When I run I.points I also have to open qgis with another map of the
same location to get the real co-ordinates. it would be nice to be able
to force GRASS to open 2 windows. One with the map to be rectified and
another of the correct location (as an option, since one might not know
the co-ordinates) (as was my case). Then one should be able to pick a
point in one window and then either enter the co-ordinates or click in
the other window for the corresponding window. Oh and BTW the CPU spikes
up to 100% and my laptop fan starts to go on overdrive everytime I run
i.points... Is there a busy loop somewhere in the code?
