Loss of "Included Catalogs"

Post by armsys »

It's working fine that the included catalogs are remembered across sessions as described in the manual.
However, after closing the current catalog (say, default.dat) which includes catalogs (a.dat, b.dat, and c.dat), all included catalogs won't be retained when opening the default.dat again.

Question:
Is it possible for the "Master Catgalogs" to retain all included catalogs (in this case, a.dat, b.dat and c.dat) until the included catalogs are "unloaded"?

The current design of the catalog management doesn't seem to make sense.
Included catalogs can be retained ONLY as long as the Master Catalog remains open.
If the Master Catalog is closed, all "included catalogs" will be lost!

Thanks to Don, the Catalog is a powerful productivity tool to instantly create a workspace relevant to your current project. :appl: :cup:
I use the Catalog so extensively to discover the afore-mentioned incovenience. :cry:
Losing all inclusion of the Subcatalog after closing the Master Catalog makes no sense. :naughty: :blackstorm:

You're aware that you can edit a post?!
Especially if nobody posted a reply after your first post.
It would help to keep the forum a bit less "cluttered".
