I have thought to use a filtrer on the tree explorer for the same reason.
I think that we should use the actual categories system :
- Many catalogs in one catalog file should reveled bad.
- A catalog group is in fact a category. 

The hierarchy of categories will be done in the next catalog file format 
(which is in specification). In this way, you will be able to get what
you want. 

What do you think about this?
