[GRASS-dev] grouping most important parameters in a 'main' tab

Hello all,

In a response to #2632 [1], I changed v.db.select in trunk (r67337) in 
order to reorder parameters in the module GUI and group what I consider 
the most important parameters in a 'Main' tab.

I know there has been much discussion about parameter grouping in the 
GUI before and I don't want to impose my choices here. So, I'm more than 
happy to revert if necessary.

The main idea is to ease the use of module GUIs without giving up their 
complete power. In other words, simplify, without dumming down. If, for 
a module, there are some parameters that seem the most obvious ones to 
change, then why not regroup them in a 'Main' tab, while leaving the 
other, more specialised ones, in separate tabs ?

Please have a look and tell me what you think.

Moritz
