I have noticed that there is no way to pick which catalog file is used when one creates a new dg catalog entry via the wall panel.
What is the suggested approach? Its likely that if users are creating additional wall types they will want to be going into the project catalog - can I control this, perhaps a config variable for the behaviour of the creation of a new entry would be an idea, and then a pull down that allows you to create at project or site level.
On a seperate note with the exception of the above flaw, the dg wall palette is starting to look pretty good in functional terms, is there a plan to bring the other palettes in line with this. At the moment the range of behaviour across the placement tools is bewildering.

I see the value in such a functionality, but know that it would require development so I can't be of any help there. I would suggest that you submit a Change Request. The simpler solution would be to restrict write permissions to the central dataset and only allow writing to the project dataset.
How familiar are you with creating new DG Catalog Items in a new XML? I know that the GB dataset doesn't have project specific entries in there the XML's, but if you are familiar with creating new DG items yourself that it would be simple to create these template entries in the XML's and use those updated XMLs in your project template for all new projects.

Yes I'll do that Travis.
I'm fine on the more administrative side of the dataset stuff, I'll talk to Volker about getting this included in the next release of the gb_dataset too.
