R: [Qgis-developer] GRASS Toolbox list view patch

[Marco Pasetti]

Hi Tim,

I built the latest svn trunk with your patch on windows (xp for the moment,
on the next days also on Vista)

1. the idea for the grass toolbox is good (I mean the module list with the
run-time type filter/search), but I think that:

1.1. we should start the grass toolbox tree collapsed instead of fully
expanded
1.2. the font of the module tiltles should be a little bit smaller
1.3. the module list tab still has some render problems
1.4. I cannot select (that means start) the filtered modules

2. I have big rendering and selecting (check-boxes) problems with the plugin
manager

Sorry, I have no such spare time to make deeper analisys :-(

All the best

Marco

Oggetto: [Qgis-developer] GRASS Toolbox list view patch

Hi Folks

Here is my first pass at a grass filtered list view for grass toolbox
(attached patch). There are still a few issues:

  - checkboxes next to items need to be removed
  - filter box below list needs a label
  - some funny rendering happens on tab background on start up, just click
to another tab and then back to the list view

I've been thinking that it might be better to implement this 'as-well- as'
the existing tree view, so that if you want to browse the tools by heirachy
you still can, or if you want to quickly get all the tools that e.g. work
with ascii, you can just type 'ascii' in the filter box and be on your way.

Anyway, will be interesting to get feedback from heavy grass users is the
list box approach makes life easier or not. To apply the patch, go to the
qgis top level dir and do:

patch -p0 < grass_detailed_list_patch.diff

You need to be using a current svn checkout for it to work properly
(r8522 or better).
