[udig-devel] Fw: Question about the Tree view in Catalog tab

[Gattuso.Peter at epamail.epa.gov]

Hello,

The tree structure in the Catalog tab seems to consist of only two
levels.  Yet, in the screenshot for the Mozambique/Populations at Risk,
there is a nice tree structure with folders and subfolders.   If I am
importing thousands of shapefiles, and they are organized by category,
then state, then county (in corresponding folders), it would be nice to
show that directory structure, so the compressed catalog view is not so
gigantic.   I cannot seem to import a folder, just a single shapefile.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

In a similar vein, it would be great to have "active" categories in the
Layers tab.  By active, I mean that you can perform functions normally
done on a single layer, and they would apply to all layers below.  For
example, if I have 25 county road layers and I want to change the style
for all of them, I could put those layers under a Roads category, and
make the change only once.

 Thanks.
