Hi, this could be a very helpful tool. There is one thing I strongly
suggest to you. The tool should be available as g.gui.datacatalog (or
whatever name is appropriate). There is several reason for this and we can
discuss them in detail if you want but basically they include better code,
possibility to not have it in main GUI at all, space for more feature-rich
interface, and fast access to functionality if your primary interface is
command line.
