💖 wxGUI Data Catalog 💖

okay bestie, welcome to wxGUI.datacatalog from the GRASS User's Manual — this is the Data Catalog page and honestly? it's giving main character energy for your whole map library. let's get into it. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The Data Catalog is a wxGUI component for browsing, modifying and managing GRASS maps. literally your one-stop lil hangout spot for all your maps. 💅

Data Catalog lets you do all of this:

  • 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
ngl, a tiny heads-up: projects are called locations at some places and in old documentation. so if you see "location" wandering around, that's the same thing, no cap. 🫶

Figure: Data Catalog integrated in wxGUI.

📝 NOTES 📝

Okay so real talk — some operations (copying, renaming, deleting) are by default enabled only within the current mapset. if you wanna touch data outside your current mapset, you gotta press the Unlock button in the Data Catalog toolbar. that's the vibe check. 🔓

🚨 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. like, it genuinely does not know what you did. please reload. i am begging. 😭
