[GRASS-dev] grass6.2?

[Michael Barton]

I'd put it a bit differently.

What seems to happen is that the vector output from v.transform ends up in
the same location as the input file. That is, if your vector file is in an
xy location, the projected output will also end up in the same
location--even though it is correctly projected. In other words, it behaves
like any other normal map operation--it must take place within the active
location/mapset. 

So, subsequently, you can simply copy the vector folder for the projected
map to the proper projected location and mapset. The georectifier does that
now. This is due to the lack of a 'target' location/mapset like those
produced by i.group.

I don't know if you want to change that behavior to make it consistent with
rasters, or let the georectifier (or other such utility) do the work.
