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...
