WinCatalog 2024 Disk Cataloger is a perfect solution! Since its listing in 2001.

Automatically create a directory for all files stored on disks (HDD, DVD, CD, network drives, and other media storage devices): WinCatalog will automatically retrieve ID3 tags for music files, Exif tags and thumbnails for photos, thumbnails and basic information for video files, content for e-books, archive files, thumbnails for images and PDF files, ISO files, and more.

Organize file directories using virtual folders, tags (categories), and user-defined fields, and use powerful search capabilities to find files in seconds, even if the disk is not connected to the computer. WinCatalog can also be easily used as a duplicate file finder. The disk directory can be automatically updated through the Windows Task Scheduler.

No matter how large your disk collection is, you will always have a well-organized file directory at hand.

Keep a record of all files and folders stored on the disk, and then use this data to help locate the desired files. WinCatalog supports various disk formats: CD, DVD, hard drives, removable and network drives, flash drives, and any other storage device, which can be accessed as a drive in the MS Windows environment.

The main asset of WinCatalog is the ability to access directories on any disk, even if the disk is currently inaccessible. You can view a list of files and folders, check their properties and descriptions, and search for files based on various criteria.

You can improve search relevance by associating a set of keywords and descriptions of the features of this project with each file (folder, disk).

WinCatalog has a built-in contact list. Use it to monitor which people among your friends or acquaintances have given a certain disk. The borrowed disk is marked with a special icon. You can also exchange information about your CD collection with friends.

The working principle of WinCatalog disk directory software

1. Simply scan the disk and index it once using WinCatalog, and WinCatalog will automatically create a directory of disks, files, and folders.
2. Use tags (categories), virtual folders, and any user-defined fields to organize directories of disks, files, and folders.
3. Use the powerful search function to accurately find the content you need.

The main features of WinCatalog disk directory software are:

Capable of extracting thumbnail images of graphic files (photos, images, RAW images) and storing them in a directory, as well as EXIF data of digital photos

With the WinCatalog 2024 disk catalog software, you can automatically create and store thumbnails of graphic files (images, photos) saved in all popular formats (JPEG, PNG, BMP, ICO, GIF, Tiff, WMF, and EMF) or RAW image formats generated by most modern digital cameras. You can also save EXIF data of photos (annotations, resolution, camera model, focal length, and other parameters).

This means that you can preview image thumbnails in the directory without opening specific media. It will enable you to quickly and easily find photos or images in the image and photo directory!

Smoothly scan Zip, RAR, and 7z archives, as well as ISO disk images, and add them as folders to the directory

This program supports Zip, Zipx, RAR/AR5, and 7z compressed files, as well as ISO and NRG disk images. The files in the archive are displayed as files in the folder.

Automatically extract supplementary information from music, video, HTML, TXT files during disk scanning and directory creation

1. WinCatalog 2024 can display ID3 tags, including artist name, song, album, disk cover, and other music file information in formats: MP3, WAV, WMA, OGG, OGA, ASF, M4A, M4B, M4P, and MP4.
2. For video files, WinCatalog extracts and adds basic information to the video directory, including thumbnails, codecs, video frame resolutions, track information, etc. Therefore, you can successfully use WinCatalog as a video catalog software.
3. For e-books, WinCatalog extracts the title, description, author name, and cover image. The formats supported by e-books are Epub, Mobi, and FB2.
4. For HTML files, WinCatalog extracts and stores titles and tags.
5. For text files, WinCatalog extracts partial text and creates a preview that displays when searching for specific documents.
6. For PDF files, WinCatalog will create a thumbnail for the first page and capture the text (if any) so that it can be searched by content.

Advanced directory search algorithm, search result filtering, simultaneous multiple searches, duplicate file finder

WinCatalog uses simple queries to implement typical search algorithms and employs logical operators AND OR、 Brackets and quotes enable advanced search - it makes the search more precise and provides perfectly matched directory search results. Since you can filter search results as needed, you can almost immediately find the desired directory elements. In addition, one or more criteria can be used to combine search results together to quickly find duplicate files.

Unlimited disk directory size meets unprecedented high running speeds

The main advantage of WinCatalog 2024 is its extremely fast running speed when processing disk directories, thanks to industrial database standards and SQLite DBMS. Taking advantage of this, you can find any object (disk, folder, or file) in the directory in seconds!

Extremely simple and intuitive user interface

We have invested a lot of effort in developing an interface that is as simple and clear as possible, so that you can immediately enjoy all the features of the WinCatalog 2024 disk catalog software after installation.

Contact, tag, and storage management (including virtual folder usage)

1. Contact management allows you to control who a disk is provided to.
2. Tag management allows you to assign a set of keywords (tags) to each element for faster and more accurate search. When using drag and drop to arrange collections across virtual folders, keeping the actual file and folder structure unchanged can better manage disk directories.
3. Storage management allows you to add all possible disk storage locations to the program. For example, "Box # 1", "DVD Stand # 2", hard drive # 1 rack, etc., and assign matching set elements to each storage location. When you have hundreds of disks and other media, this will save a lot of time.

Report generation and export and printing of XML, HTML, or CSV (such as for MS Excel and other applications)

This feature allows you to create beautiful reports containing files and disk directories to send to your friends, publish online, print, or perform deep processing in MS Excel.

Unicode support

WinCatalog disk directory software can correctly handle any name and title, regardless of the language used, thanks to full Unicode support.
