As this can be considered a core functionality, blocking release till it's fixed.

Related to OSGeo4W Python 2.5 -> 2.7 switch, or better to say to the new wxpython package (2.8.12.1). Try to investigate more...

[neteler]

Was it file or directory import (which switch button in the GUI)? This may make a difference.

The dialog doesn't start at all. Some mismatch in wxWidgets libraries, try to fix it.

Hopefully fixed in r50408

Tested with the lasted build (1) - seems to work.

Please backport fix to devbr6/trunk. Thanks.

A diff shows that r50408 is already present in 6.5.

I tested with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r50414-1-Setup.exe, the single file importer works again (raster tested).

it has been fixed in 6.5 - r50409

Closing, feel free to re-open if needed.
