On the other side of the world (where network is faster) one can just open spotter, enter
a name or name fragment of a project/framework like "Roassal" hit enter and load it without
much hazzle.

I now added an option/setting so you can disable the spotter integration if required. See attachement.

Will be in with the next iteration of catalog browser.

Thanks

Hi Torsten,

People are saying that they do not want to have the Catalog Projects displayed by default (before you type anything). This makes the opening of Spotter slower.

Another option is to provide an intermediary object. For example, how would it be if we would dive in the Catalog Browser object from the Menu category and be able to search for projects?

Cheers,
Doru
