[SoC] Week 6 report: Creation of a new GRASS GIS startup mechanism

[L.Kladivova]

Hello Community,




I am sending my report for Week 6 (July 6-July 12). The report can also be 
found in the project wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/…dow
(https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2020/StartupWindow).





1) What did I complete this week?


I am finalizing the PR Add multiple GRASS databases (see ​https://github.
com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761), ​https://
github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741)
). This PR changes tree.py quite significantly and also adds the new toolbar
button for adding the existing GRASS database. Simultaneously, I have 
finished the bigger PR related to new Rename and Delete actions of Location 
and Mapset (see ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/771
(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/771), ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/
issues/710(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/710)). 





2) What am I going to achieve for next week?


I would finalize on the PR Add multiple GRASS databases (see ​https://
github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/761), ​
https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741
(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/741)) and merge the above-mentioned 
PRs. I would also start to work on other issues related mainly to the Data 
Catalog: 

   * Add new location action to database node in Data tab (see ​https://
   github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/747
   (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/747)) 
   * Distinguish label and name of nodes (see ​https://github.com/OSGeo/
   grass/issues/780(https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/780)) 
   * Add functionality to load only data from the current mapset in the Data
   tree (see ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/749
   (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/749)) 
   * Startup screen: Distinguish mapsets by ownership and lock (see ​
   https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/714
   (https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/714)) 
   

3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it is not. 




Regards,
Linda Kladivova
