The ArcCatalog Options has the ability to add file types that will display in the Contents. For example you could add PDF and see them listed in ArcCatalog. Clicking on it would open the file in the associated program.
This would be handy to have in Pro.
This came about because I noticed that aprx's weren't showing up in Catalog (I found this idea for that) and thought I could add it as a file type.
Yes, please add this functionality! It would be great if Pro was at least as functional as Desktop.
I'm running into a problem while planning some clean-up. (See here for the post that prompted this)
I keep looking through Catalog and finding empty folders. Great! I can delete them. Just kidding, there are actually 20 PDFs in there.
Simply put, it is really inefficient to have to view every folder in both Catalog and File Explorer.
This link: Supported data types and items—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation shows that Pro more or less only shows GIS data.
However, ArcCatalog has the ability to add visible file types.
I would like Pro's Catalog to be able to add visible file types.
Thanks!
Since ArcGIS (all flavors) has a geoprocessing tool to convert PDF to TIF, PDF's (at the very least) should be either viewable in catalog by default or at least exposed as a user option (as in ArcCatalog). I am still in disbelief at the loss of functionality across the board in 'Pro' (aka Arc'Slow').
