GSoC 2026 Biweekly Report - Week 11 & 12

Project Title: Adding Spatio-Temporal Dataset Support to GRASS Data Catalog GUI

Week 11 & 12: Coding Period

Work Done

  • Completed the final cleanups, improvements, and refinements to the STDS support in the Data Catalog based on mentor reviews and feedback. The current implementation includes STDS listing, creation, registration and unregistration of maps, dataset management, metadata, import options, search support, automatic refresh, and various context menu actions.
  • Worked on improving and extending related GUI functionality:
    • Made the tplot window resizable.
    • Added tooltips to Data Catalog database nodes to display the full database path.
    • Fixed performance issues and freezes in g.gui.animation, particularly when working with large datasets.
    • Integrated g.gui.animation into the GUI as a tab.
  • Fixed a temporal framework issue by removing an SQLite workaround that was no longer required.
  • Completed final changes and improvements to the t.list multiple dataset type support.
  • Documented the project and its implementation in detail on the GRASS Wiki to make the work easier to understand, test, and evaluate as part of the GSoC final evaluation.
