[GRASS-dev] [GRASS GIS] #2177: g.gui.animation fail to create gif

[Markus Neteler]

Hi Anna,

so some feedback here:

 I tried in my brain scan location (that's a limited dataset):

GRASS 7.0.svn (markus_brain_ct):~ > g.gui.animation
GRASS 7.0.svn (markus_brain_ct):~ >
GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): ERROR: Unsupported temporal database.
Version mismatch.

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): Supported temporal database version is: 2

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): Please remove your old temporal database.

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): A new one will be created automatically.

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): Current temporal database info:

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): DBMI interface:..... sqlite3

GRASS_INFO_MESSAGE(19932,1): Temporal database:..

I am not scared at all but I feel that it should suggest how to remove
it, in the phrase
"Please remove your old temporal database."

A silly user would do:
g.list db
--> db does not exist

GRASS 7.0.svn (markus_brain_ct):~ > db.tables -p
No tables found

so it is not that obvious how to "reach" the file. I have now simply removed it.

Perhaps also trap the "Version mismatch" with try/except or so?

More I'll add to the ticket.
