of the window together the description what the things are useful for.
The descriptions can be easily changed, they are wrapped texts, so they
will work well with translations. So, feel free to suggest different
ones. We can also make them "gray" as suggested earlier.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I
used GRASS Location and Location. I though that GRASS could help to
emphasize that it is something GRASS-related and few people were using
Location and Mapset with capital letter which could say that it is a
something like files format or spatial database name. I aimed to address
the things I considered confusing. I'm not sure about the GRASS GIS
data directory as I mentioned earlier. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Now
it is higher then the old one but with removal of the image it will be
smaller. If a small-enough image is used, it could be the same. I would
like to not include the image to have more space for the error messages
(currently one line between GISDBASE and Location boxes), so messages
can be longer and perhaps some what to do next tips can be shown as
well. The position of this text can/should be changed, now middle of the
window (usually these are at the bottom or at the top). However,
without image it might be actually a little boring.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I
reorganized the buttons to manage the (list of) Locations and (list of)
Mapsets, so now it looks like any other lists, e.g. in Simple Layer
Manager or in Cartographic Composer. In future we can add buttons, for
example unpack a zipped location or download sample datasets in case of
Locations and show existing maps button in case of Mapsets.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">A
"Skip" button can be added next to Start button, once implemented. I
think that XY location in /tmp/grassdata would be appropriate.<br></div><br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2015-January/073268.html" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2015-January/073268.html</a><br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2015-January/073266.html" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2015-January/073266.html</a><br></div></div></div>
