## 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 synchronised.
