[Qgis-developer] processing algoritm/script button?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

tried to Google this but did not find anything yet. But having a
(custom, complex) processing script, what is the best/easiest way to
give it it's own button on the toolbar?

I could write a minimal plugin to call the algorithm?

OR does processing already have this?

And if not: this is the feature request:   ;-)

Given one or more Processing scripts, make it possible to place a button
in the processing toolbar (not yet there...) for it.
Maybe via some syntax like

##button=foo.jpeg

Where foo.jpeg is an image next to the script? Or full path to it
As a tooltip you could see the name of the user script?
If not already there it could create a 'processing scripts button
toolbar' and add the button to it.
Upon clicking the button it would run the script.
One script can have one button.

In this way the user-friendly-ness of a plugin could be combined with
the (for end users sometimes) rather 'technical' view of a processing
script. Especially for those users who only run a couple of specialized
scripts this would be nice.

Regards,

Richard
