Hi Devs,
I am planning to update dataCatalog now GRASS Catalog for GRASS GIS. Data
Catalog is bit outdated for grass 6.4. I would like to add GRASS Catalog
for grass7 for that I need to change all wx.Frame for Map Frame to wx.Panel

I am not wrting more . I would like to know if GRASS developers are
interested in GRASS Catalog anymore

see a screen here
File:GRASS Catalog1.png - GRASS-Wiki

There are good functional reasons for having the Map Frame as a wx.Frame instead of a wx.Panel. Why would you want to change it?

From your picture, it looks like you have changed the GUI so that you cannot detach the view window from the layer manager window. Is this the case? Or is this just for a catalog window?

While I know that some people would like GRASS to look like ArcGIS, I for one really like being able to have multiple display windows and only a single control window. I would argue very strongly to maintain that display flexibility.

We need to have more information, especially if this involves a major change in the way the interface works and is presented to users.

Michael
