[GRASS-user] Issue with addon r.vif in MS Windows GUI installations (stand-alone v. 7.2.2 and 7.0.5)

[Dinarzarde Raheem]

Hi Helmut,

I have been installing r.vif as you have indicated (i.e. by downloading from the server using g.extension and opening the tree of installable raster addons), but can now confirm after installing both the new and old versions of r.vif on a Windows 10 (64 bit) machine, that r.vif isn't listed under the Addons in the module tab in both Grass standalone GUI versions 7.2.2 and 7.4.0 (i.e. there is no plus sign in front of Addons, so there is no way of opening the tree of installed addons and selecting and running r.vif). 

Best wishes,

Dinarzarde

you have to click on the + before "Raster" to open the tree of installable raster addons.



>One thing I noticed is that when you re-install Grass and then install r.vif you get this message:
>(Sun Feb 11 16:29:48 2018)
>g.extension extension=r.vif url=
>WARNING: Extension <r.vif> already installed. Re-installing...

yes, it's an obvious message as you install the script from the server over the local copy.

>I guess by tomorrow the new version of r.vif should be available via the server so will try again tomorrow.

the new version is already on the server and should be installable by g.extension, see

for winGRASS7.5.svn daily:
https://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass75/x86_64/addons/grass-7.5.svn/

for  winGRASS7.4.0:
https://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass74/x86_64/addons/grass-7.4.0/

etc

kind regards
