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
