Over these 24 years, we’ve evolved from a simple file organizer into a comprehensive solution that helps thousands of users manage everything from personal photo libraries to massive business archives. What started as a tool for organizing floppy disks and CD collections has grown into powerful disk catalog software capable of indexing terabytes of files across countless external drives, NAS devices, and network locations. https://www.wincatalog.com/news-and-articles/2025/whereisit-to-wincatalog-converter-updated/ Mon, 29 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0300 https://www.wincatalog.com/news-and-articles/2025/whereisit-to-wincatalog-converter-updated/ We are glad to announce an updated version of the WhereIsIt to WinCatalog Converter, a free utility that helps you transfer your existing catalogs from the discontinued WhereIsIt program into WinCatalog — a modern disk catalog software and the best WhereIsIt alternative for Windows.

The issue was caused by a new feature that is still under development. Although the feature was not enabled, part of its code was unintentionally included in the release. As a result, the bug blocked the ability to add new drives to the catalog or update existing ones, which is a key function of WinCatalog. https://www.wincatalog.com/news-and-articles/2025/wincatalog-2024-10-release/ Wed, 09 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0300 https://www.wincatalog.com/news-and-articles/2025/wincatalog-2024-10-release/ Hello, we are pleased to announce the release of WinCatalog version 2024.10, introducing a range of enhancements and fixes aimed at improving stability, performance, and the overall user experience.
