<div dir="ltr">Currently I work in an organization which is very much concerned about the quality and the structure of the file database with lots of shapefiles, file geodatabases (ESRI), rasters. Some examples: roads, rivers, country limits, states limits, county limits, region limits, custom regions limits, farms limits, ...<div><br></div><div>So, nowadays we keep an ESRI Licence just to use ArcCatalog (which is what I expected QGIS Browser to be) just to rename, preview, move stuff around for organizing stuff around. Since there is a lot of metadata (shx, vat, xml, ...), ArcCatalog simplifies these processes.</div><div><br></div><div>If QGIS Browser did support to do that kind of stuff for organizing data me and my colleagues would be willing to migrate from ESRI ArcCatalog to QGIS Browser. Since we are a non profit organization, it would be nice to get off that extra load in our budgets and to use that resources in our different projects.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-02-20 7:07 GMT-03:00 Mathieu Pellerin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nirvn.asia@gmail.com" target="_blank">nirvn.asia@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">

The
one thing I'd miss a bit is its capability at quickly previewing
datasets. I'm wondering if this could be somehow integrated into the
QGIS' browser dock (maybe now made possible following the major layer
registry / project refactoring which has taken place prior to 3.0?).
Just like the information panel, we could have a preview panel that
renders a preview of the vector/raster dataset.</p>

the standalone browser gone. :)</p>
