Am I correct in that this would be somewhat equivalent to having Templates stored in the catalog? If so, that could make usage easier.

Oh.. ok. But that wouldn't really be "Name" Searches anymore then!

Would be pretty much the same, but better As in you'll also save some list settings (related to columns, etc) that you wouldn't have with templates.
Which reminds me, in this next feature, but also in the Save/Restore User Defaults, I think it'd be nice to also have the columns visibility stored. Cause when you save, I think when later on you restore you kinda expect to get the same thing as when you saved, and it might really not be the case now since the columns visibility isn't affected

Columns visibility is currently stored by-list-mode (Browse, Find...). When I added tabs (v3.60.0150 - 25.03.05 20:57 -- almost exactly 1.5 years ago! ), I gathered that you'd rather control this globally instead of per-tab. I still think it's good like this, but i see your point, too. Let's leave like it is for now, because it's not that easy to change for me

Yes, but that would need a pretty elaborate syntax (think of the Date tab alone!), not easy to handle and remember.

The way I plan it: store finding tabs (with full find settings) in the catalog, and restore them later at one click. Then you have also the sort order, column order, column width etc. set. And you don't need to learn anything new, just click "save tab" and "open tab". File under "catalog: tab items" when you next remind me...

Sounds like a decent alternative to me

Excellent idea !

Being able to store full search criteria in the catalog would eliminate my need for all the search templates to be listed in the right click context.

Would be my wished for one click solution (even better than 2 clicks in the context ).

Thanks
