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 allows to:

 * rename maps in the current mapset
 * remove maps from the current mapset
 * copy maps from different mapsets into current mapsets (within the same location)
 * drag and drop for copying

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
 * searching, filtering maps based on pattern
 * bulk operations (remove, copy, rename)
 * ''add your idea here...''

Refactoring needed before adding more features (ongoing effort by annakrat):
 * using !TreeModel, !TreeView (MVC approach)
 * separate environment for changes in different locations/mapsets
