<div dir="ltr">Hi Paolo,<div>I agree with you, a cleaner organization of Processing tools is advisable to reduce the confusion in users. </div><div>It's rather difficult to teach them in a clear way too! :)</div><div><br>
</div><div>IMHO this reorganization should consider also the integration of other sparse analysis/processing tools, like the ones under the Vector menu. I know it depends on their implemention (and its feasibility in the present Processing model), but it's one of the major sources of confusions or users. A typical question: why we have the Processing toolbox and a Vector menu, where some tools overlap, while other are only available under Vector menu, and so not usable inside a Processing model/workflow?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope we will find time (=money) to close this gap and, hopefully, have most of the analysis tools under the same structure. Well... all but the C++ ones :(</div><div><br></div><div>giovanni</div></div>

Hi all.<br>
We are thinking about the future of Processing framework. The duplication shown among<br>
modules is certainly a good thing, as it allows richer analyses and more control and<br>
verification, but can be intimidating even for skilled GIS users.<br>
We have been discussed this before, but I came up with the conclusion that a<br>
reasonable approach would be to have three levels:<br>
* basic - only one choice, no overly complex modules<br>
* normal - all well tested modules, minimizing duplication<br>
* experimental - out in the wild, all modules.<br>
This would improve the user experience, and would require less maintenance by core devs.<br>
Of course the selection of the modules for the second category is rather complex, and<br>
would require much thinking.<br>
Opinions?<br>
All the best.<br>
