That procedure does not work. The file path of the default catalogs (setup/catalog/cdc deep sky, cdc stars, and obsolete) do not allow the user to change the file paths. Then going back to the original problem: The setup/catalog/catalog "add" function will not recognize a catalog unless its folder includes a ".hdr" file. The downloaded pgc 2009 does not include a .hdr file in the downloaded folder. CDC will not, therefore, recognize the catalog.

In place of "activating" doubleclick the folder-symbol on the right. Then you can search, where your pgc-folder really is. You can even try this with other catalogs, getting the same result, if you sure installed them. I think V3.1 doesn´t find it automatically like V2.76 (?)
