🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The Data Catalog is a wxGUI component for browsing, modifying and managing GRASS maps. literally what it says on the tin, iconic.

Data Catalog lets you:

  • 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 (the glow-up pipeline fr)
  • drag and drop maps for copying and moving 🫳✨
  • searching and filtering maps using regular expressions (regex girlies rise)
  • display map in current project 👀
  • show metadata of maps 📋
heads up bestie: note that projects are called locations at some places and in old documentation. same thing, different era, we don't gatekeep vocabulary 💜

Figure: Data Catalog integrated in wxGUI.

📝 NOTES 📝

Some operations (copying, renaming, deleting) are by default enabled only within the current mapset. so if you wanna touch data outside of your current mapset, you need to press the Unlock button in the Data Catalog toolbar. that's the vibe check right there 🔓

🚨 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 synchronized. no cap, it will not know what you did. reload or perish 😭
