This patch enables QGIS users to more easily generate new
GRASS locations. It should lower the barrier to use GRASS
as GIS backbone for QGIS.

Yet missing:

• possibility to switch to the newly created GRASS location in the browser.

I have attached some missing r.external icons - please fix.

Furthermore, I have made a series of improvements to the GRASS toolbox
menu to be less confusing for newcomers including some slight restructuration.

Wish: since these patches are rather trivial, please also update the 1.5 release
branch since I cannot use trunk in production.

Hi,

the browse button if the "name of new location to create" seems does not allows to select folders (as expected) but files.

Replying to [comment:6 lutra]:

Hi,

the browse button if the "name of new location to create" seems does not allows to select folders (as expected) but files.

Bugfix attached which is conformant to the handling in other modules (yet no folder is
selectable, it is just a text field as for the others).

Furthermore patch attached for r.proj + v.proj cosmetics to reorder parms for importance (optional goes last).
