Re: [udig-users] Add Folder to Catolog

You got it; actually if you try the search view you will find it even
more useful (it lets you see a description of what is in the catalog
and you can quickly type to find the stuff you want).

Actually the proposal in Jira is for a number of different
organizations; based on the logical structure (folders and so on).
What interests me is the connections between the different datasoruces
(it is useful to know that a WMS layer and a WFS feature collection
are actually both the same data for example).

Here is an example of a proposal to "fix" the catalog:
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Catalog+View+Proposal
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/GeoResource+Property+Page+Proposal
- http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Service+Property+Page+Proposal

This would make it more obvious what the catalog is doing.

Cheers and thanks for the discussion (note if you would like to work
on any of these ideas I would be happy to review a community plugin on
any of these topics).
