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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>I am all in favour of this. Easier for the casual user and it means less clicks for probably most user-cases. I guess it will not always be easy to determine what are the most important / common parameters, but for this module I think you got them all right under the main tab.</div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>wrt to the name of the tab, instead of "main", "common" might be more accurate.</div></div><br></div></div>
