Querying a remote data server is usually inappropriate so we do this:
GMT_AUTO_DOWNLOAD off
Thereafter, even this:
gmt grdinfo test.grd
raises this error:
grdinfo [ERROR]: Remote download is currently deactivated
which breaks scripts that don’t catch it.
Also, thinking about how often user scripts must be needlessly querying data servers, wouldn’t it be much better if
GMT_AUTO_DOWNLOAD was off by default?
I think there are two fixes needed here.
