[GRASS-dev] Mini project 2024: Second progress report

[Linda Karlovská]

Hello guys,




I am sending my second progress report from working on the GRASS mini 
project called Easy command history navigation through the History browser 
panel. You can also access the detailed report here: [1].




1) What did I complete?
I worked on the PR [2] which addresses two things - it changes how the 
history log is stored - newly it will be the JSON format. Second, it shows 
info about commands in the history pane. During this week, we decided that 
the original plain text history file would be automatically converted to a 
JSON file when launching a new command so that everyone would now seamlessly
encounter command information. The initial concept was to create a JSON file
only when establishing a new mapset, leaving previously created plain texts 
unchanged. PR [2] is currently awaiting review. Additionally, I have shared 
the PR [3] for relocating the "Export History" button from the Console to 
the History pane.




2) What am I going to achieve for the next two weeks?

I would like to merge both ​(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/3365)[2] 
and [3]. Following this, I plan to shift my focus towards Region settings. 
The objective is to enable users to set the current region based on the 
region from a history command, either through the context menu or using a 
button (details to be discussed). As the history command is currently rerun 
with the current region, I also aim to implement an option to rerun it with 
the original region.




3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it isn't, but I am just in the last two weeks of pregnancy :-) So, I 
might be a bit less active in the upcoming weeks. Thank you for your 
understanding.





Have a nice week.



Linda
