When your catalog depth is pretty high, the Contents tab becomes

Are there any plans to improve the Contents page to allow for more
structured exclusion and inclusion of the catalog?
None that I’m aware of, but there are already many ways to control
inclusion in the catalog besides the depth slider.
Generally, you shouldn’t increase the depth very high for performance
reasons. If you just index a few top-level folders, you can navigate
deeper down by selecting one and hitting → or /. Only if you find
yourself going to the same folder over and over should you think about
adding it to the catalog, and in that case, a separate entry makes more
sense than cranking up the depth on its parent.
As for ways to trim down the noise, you can
* add specific files or folders to the catalog by listing their paths
in a text file
* add specific files or folders to the catalog based on tags
(requires the File Attributes plug-in)
* add files to the catalog based on a Spotlight query (requires the
Spotlight plug-in)
* specify file types to include or exclude in an entry’s settings
If you can tell us the specific reason you increased the depth, we can
probably find a better way.
