Load Catalog on the fly

ugus · Post by **ugus** » 29 Oct 2007 09:03

When the Catalog is such a handy tool in XYplorer, it would be really nice to have the ability to quickly load/switch catalog.dats on the fly in an existing XY session. With one catalog file it can be hard to navigate the Catalog, if cluttered with items.

When the items in the catalog are increasing, the possibility to switch to another catalog.dat should simplify the use of the catalog IMHO. You could organize and use different Catalogs for different projects etc.

You should also have the possibility to save a specific Catalog configuration to a new Catalog.dat.

Maybe one Catalog.dat should be the default one, which XY uses when loading.

I second that. Great idea!

And a toolbar button to switch quickly between the different catalogs.

Yep, that was my plan from the beginning. I also plan to export/exchange/import catalog categories between users (typically between collegues in a project).

The same is true for UDC.

In one of the future versions...
