DESCRIPTION
The Data Catalog is a wxGUI component for browsing, modifying and managing GRASS 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
Note that projects are called locations at some places and in old documentation.
Figure: Data Catalog integrated in wxGUI.

NOTES
Some operations (copying, renaming, deleting) are by default enabled only within the current mapset. To allow changing data outside of your current mapset, you need to press Unlock button in 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 synchronized.
