This page collects ideas about '''wxGUI Data Catalog''' development. The main goal is to implement an application integrated into Layer Manager (as a new tab) and standalone application as `g.gui.datacatalog`.

Current implementation in trunk  is refactored (using !TreeModel, !TreeView) and allows to:

 * rename maps
 * remove maps
 * copy maps
 * move maps
 * drag and drop for copying and moving
 * perform these actions even outside the current mapset or location (achieved by using separate environment) when ''unlocked''
 * searching, filtering maps based on pattern
 * display map if in current location
 * show metadata for any map
 * reload mapset or GRASS database

Pool for advanced features:

 * ~~copy maps from different locations with different projection (requires reprojection)~~
 * copy maps from different locations with the same projection (v.pack/r.pack? r3.pack missing)
 * drag and drop maps into map canvas
 * preview of maps
 * ~~show metadata~~
 * bulk operations (remove, copy, rename)
 * ''add your idea here...''
