Catalog is looking great - I just have one gripe. My real need for the Catalog was so that I could work without 30 or so tabs open (don't ask - all local drives, including removables plus several network locations and several individual folders for each - it soon adds up).
Don't know if it's feasible, but I have found that I end up opening a location from the Catalog as several tabs (if I don't bother checking the open tabs). Is there any chance that selecting a catlog item could check if the location was aready open as a tab and if so just jump to that tab.
I can see no logical reason for having a location open as two tabs (but I am open to suggestions).
Realise it is laziness on my part, but it would be a useful feature.
Don't worry if this will slow the Catalog down - I can live with duplicate tabs if it means sacrificing speed.
Cheers
Phat

Re: Check Open Tabs
I can relate to your idea, although I'm inclined to make that behavior optional (so a Catalog settings tab in Configuration is around the corner...)
So, I'm with ya, but let's wait for other opinions...
Plus you could force a new tab if you really by holding Shift or Ctrl.phatmankerr wrote:I can see no logical reason for having a location open as two tabs (but I am open to suggestions).

Fair Enough
Seems like a fair assesment.
As you say users can Force a new tab if they really want to (gets round the need to make it optional - but I wouldn't want to force it on everyone if they don't need it).

Re: Fair Enough
Nobody said a word, so I made a decision: it's a great feature! I added it without any option to turn it off.phatmankerr wrote:As you say users can Force a new tab if they really want to (gets round the need to make it optional - but I wouldn't want to force it on everyone if they don't need it).
Little disadvantage: while you can hold Shift to force opening in a new tab, you have no way to force opening it in the current tab when another tab pointing to it is found.
So I added an undocumented feature (might change without notice): hold ALT to force opening in current tab.
