Description

Hi,

apparently the input field for rows,cols in v.mkgrid is overzealously checked.
The comma separator cannot be entered. Probably also further parameters
would be needed for the module.

This appears to be a problem how grass plugin parses v.mkgrid interface definition:

        <parameter name="grid" type="integer" required="yes" multiple="no">
                <description>
                        number of ROWS and COLUMNS in grid
                </description>
                <keydesc>
                        <item order="1">rows</item>
                        <item order="2">columns</item>
                </keydesc>
        </parameter>

Type is integer, thus it allows only integers to be entered. However it doesn't consider "keydesc" tag that specifies two items.

What to do with it?
  • disable modules with this kind of parameter
  • implement this functionality to behave correctly
  • allow entering strings for such parameters (temporary fix)

For 0.8 maybe the temporary "string" solution is quickest (otherwise the module is useless in QGIS).

In general all modules which query on command line (r.what, v.what.rast, v.what.vect, ...) will have this problem, so a real solution to it would be very nice.

best,
Markus
