WXGUI regression - attribute table management doesn't work
| Reported by: | marisn | Owned by: | martinl |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | major | Milestone: | 6.4.3 |
| Component: | wxGUI | Version: | 6.4.2 |
| Keywords: | atm, table manager | Cc: | grass-dev@… |
| CPU: | Unspecified | Platform: | MSWindows Vista |
Description
When opening vector attribute table manager's tab "Manage tables", it's impossible to interact with any of it's GUI elements - adding a new column, renaming existing column, deleting existing column is not possible. GUI elements aren't grayed out, still it's not possible to enter values, use drop-down menus etc.
6.4.0 works just fine on the same vector map - a major issue as existing functionality has been broken in a stable release.

Replying to martinl:
Well, calling it a "regression" is quite offensive expression;-) You should be allowed to modify only attribute tables which are linked to the maps from your current mapset, make sense to you? See title of tab which contains info about *readonly* mode.
ah I see, you are referring to winGRASS only. After some testing I can confirm that attribute manager is broken in the sense you reported in GRASS 6.4.2. Anyway GRASS 6.4.3 seems to be OK (please could you confirm it?)

It works fine on the Mac in 6.4.2 and 6.4.3. So it just seems to be a Windows problem.

Just working with a colleague who is trying to create a GRASS-based training workshop next summer. She is on Windows with 6.4.2 and indeed the table manager and layer manager windows are locked and inaccessible.
This is not an access issue because we tried it with a file freshly imported into a map set that she owns. This is a serious problem for data management with the Windows version.
If there is a fix that could be applied to the windows binary package it would be a big help.

I'm planning to teach a graduate course using GRASS next fall and most students will probably have windows based systems. This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed for windows users. Is there a fix?

AFAIK no fix available. I would guess that we will release till autumn (September?) 6.4.3 which doesn't contain this bug.

Can you confirm that it now works in 6.4.svn?

Seems to be fixed. Closing.

I can confirm that this is fixed on the Mac but don't have a way to test it on Windows. I assume that it works there too.
