[Qgis-developer] fTools - Processing (again)

[Victor Olaya]

I think Arnaud also raised the question sometime ago (my fault for not
commenting on that at the time...), and it should be easy to add those
shortcuts, but I haven't had much time lately for working on
Processing.

I wont be attending the next Hackfest, but sounds like a task that can
be accomplished in those days, and I will be happy to help remotely or
take it completely and try to develop a subsystem in Processing to
customize the menus and toolbars with Processing algorithms.

Hope this helps
