[Qgis-developer] grass modules

[Lami Gis3w]

Hi all,

with the new v.out.ogr and the new r.out.gdal you can export to all 
formats supported by GDAL/OGR library (GML and other formats with the 
same problem) but you have to specify the right extension in the output 
file name. Of course I can specify this in the module.

The alternative is to create a modules for every format supported by 
GDAL/OGR with an increase of the modules in the GRASS tools menu.

Any advices for the other developers?

Thank you very much
Leonardo
