Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%
Settings - catalog
while I believe the new Catalog pane is the best solution, nothing stops from few minor improvements of existing layout
Suggestion
A
preferable
- split db content from Catalog tab into separate one, eg 'Maintenance'
- unify naming
use 'Database' when describing both dbs (Catalog and Thumbs):- Settings
- Catalog (tab) → Database
- Catalog maintenance (dialog) → Database maintenance
- Browser
- Catalog (File menu) → Database
- Export... (File>Catalog) → Export Catalog...
- messageboxes
- requires a separate post
- Settings
all from A, plus
- merge Maintenance and Excluded/Included tabs
