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

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Marco

Thanks for the feedback. I will try to build under msvc here and see  
if I can address the issues with the plugin manager. I think Radim  
specifically expanded the tree in the grass toolbox because you can  
access each tool with a single click. Perhaps we can add some  
collapse all / expand all buttons to the toolbox to support both  
people who prefer it expanded and those who prefer it collapsed. Ill  
look into this.

I tested the plugin manager with my msvc build and will commit a fix  
in a few minutes that should sort out the issue you were having.



Regards

Tim
