💖 wxGUI Data Catalog 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for wxGUI.datacatalog(1) from the GRASS GIS User's Manual, and honestly? she's kind of a big deal. 🌈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The Data Catalog is a wxGUI component for browsing, modifying and managing GRASS maps. she's basically the group chat manager for all ur maps. 💅

Data Catalog allows you to:

  • browse GRASS projects and mapsets in the current GIS directory
  • browse GRASS 2D/3D raster and vector maps
  • rename, copy, move and delete GRASS maps including reprojection between different projects
  • drag and drop maps for copying and moving
  • searching and filtering maps using regular expressions
  • display map in current project
  • show metadata of maps
lowkey important lore: note that projects are called locations at some places and in old documentation. so if u see "location" somewhere and ur like ??? — it's the same thing, no cap. 🫶

Figure: Data Catalog integrated in wxGUI. (yes there's a figure, it's giving main character energy ✨)

📝 NOTES 📝

Some operations (copying, renaming, deleting) are by default enabled only within the current mapset. to let urself change data outside of your current mapset, you need to press the Unlock button in the Data Catalog toolbar. 🔓

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

When renaming, copying or deleting maps outside of Data Catalog, you need to reload the current mapset or entire database, because it is currently not synchronised. fr fr, do not skip this step, she will not update herself. 💀
