Dear all,

One of the fantastic things in UC 7 is that the catalog is now a view. It allows for wonderful customizations which in turn is great when using it in distributions. However, currently it's not possible to export a modified version of uc_views to features (features 2.x will not allow for it) when including the view manually it ends up as an overriden component of the feature that upon reverting, still doesn't override the default view.

My suggestion would be to allow end users to select a different view for the catalog, in the "catalog settings" UI (where you can now select a display from the uc_catalog view). And make this variable exportable.
Users could then simply clone the default view, modify it, set it as the default view to use as the catalog display and include that variable and the view into their feature/ distro.

Hope to see this feature added in a future release.
