[Qgis-developer] Small annoyance in GRASS plugin

Dear list,

looking at the current state of the GRASS plugin
in Preview II, "Kore", I found that it is now possible
to use GRASS modules that take multiple input maps.
This is good news. However, there is a small glitch here.

E.g.: open the "r.patch" module dialog. You will see the
"Type in map names .." field, which works just fine.
But the "[...]" browse button takes the user to a
"Save As" dialog, which is completely dysfunctional in
this context. What it should open is a widget that
allows users to select one or more maps in the current
GRASS mapset.

If that is too much work to go into QGIS 1.0.0, I'd
suggest getting rid of that button altogether. It
will be a little inconvenient for the user having
to manually type in map names, but still better
than popping up a misleading dialog.

Cheers,

Ben
