#3066: g.gui.gcp not handling vectors

 Reporter:  madi                    |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect                  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  major                   |  Milestone:  7.3.0
Component:  wxGUI                   |    Version:  svn-trunk
 Keywords:  georeferencing, vector  |        CPU:  x86-64
 Platform:  Linux                   |
------------------------------------+-------------------------
 I have a group of vectors to georeference, but can't create a group of
 vectors using g.gui.gcp.
 At the first menu: Select map type and location/mapset, i successfully
 select vector radio button and location and mapset.
 At the next menu, i have to create the group, but the menu is partly not
 responsive. In the field 'select group' I can't neither write nor browse
 any options. If I add vector maps to group (but i guess first i have to
 name/create a group) I can pick the layers that i want to add, but they
 are not added to anything, the 'next' button is grey and can't be pushed,
 and in the terminal appears:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/grass-7.1.svn/gui/wxpython/gcp/manager.py", line 529,
 in OnVGroup
     dlg.MakeVGroup()
   File "/usr/local/grass-7.1.svn/gui/wxpython/gcp/manager.py", line 2262,
 in MakeVGroup
     f = open(self.vgrpfile, mode='w')
 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
 '/home/madi/grassdata/non_georef/PERMANENT/group/VREF'

 If I go on create/edit group, in the field 'select existing group or enter
 name of new group' I write a name, then 'select all' - 'add' opens a menu
 in which i can't select 'vector' but only raster. I guess i should be able
 to select vector because there is an arrow down to the raster option, but
 raster is the only option i can actually select. I find it counter
 intuitive since i have already made the choice in the previous menus
 between raster and vectors. However, from this menu I get stuck, if i push
 apply, with select all option, I get the strange message of 'no raster
 maps selected'. (why raster?). In the end, I'm not able to create a group
 of vector.
