 Replying to [ticket:1889 hamish]:
 > Hi,
 >
 > a change a while back changed things so that after you complete setting
 up a new location, and after it asks you if you want to set the default
 bounds, it automatically launches in the PERMANENT mapset.

 it doesn't anymore now.

 >
 > Day to day use of PERMANENT as your working mapset is not good practice
 and the auto-launch behaviour should be reverted. Instead it should act
 like the text location creation tool and ask you if you want to create a
 new mapset, auto-filling in the $user name as a suggestion for what to
 call it.

 it does now.

 georeferenced map you created a new location from? (and that one should
 ask you first, e.g. the geofile may be massive and you don't want to
 import it)
 >

 it asks for importing the georeferenced map.

 closing the ticket?
