Step-by-step guide and user manual

Main features of WinCatalog Disk Catalog Software:

WinCatalog can extract Exif and thumbnails

Ability to extract and store in a catalog thumbnails of graphic files (photos, pictures, RAW-images), as well as EXIF data of digital photos

Thanks to 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 produced by most of modern digital photo cameras. You can also save EXIF data (comments, resolution, [photo camera model, focal distance, and other parameters) for photos.

This means you can preview picture thumbnails in the catalog without the need to open the particular media. And it will allow you to quickly and easily locate a photo or an image in your image and photo catalog!

WinCatalog can scan inside archives

Fluently scan inside Zip, RAR, and 7z archives as well as ISO disk images, and add them as folders into the catalog

The program supports Zip, Zipx, RAR/RAR5, and 7z compressed files as well as ISO and NRG disk images. Files inside archives are displayed as files in folders.

Powerful search function

The advanced catalog search algorithm, search results filtering, simultaneous multi-search, duplicate file finder

WinCatalog implements both the typical search algorithm using simple queries and the advanced search using logical operators AND, OR, parenthesis and quotes - it makes the search more precise and provides exactly matching catalog search results. And since you can filter search results any way you want, you can find the desired catalog element almost instantly. Besides, search results can be grouped together using one or more criteria to find duplicate files quickly.

Database Driven

Unlimited disk catalog size meets unprecedentedly high operating speed

The main advantage of WinCatalog 2024 is extremely high operating speed while processing disk catalog, thanks to industrial database standards and SQLite DBMS. Using this advantage, you can find any object (a disk, a folder or a file) in your catalog in a matter of seconds!

Intuitive and simple interface

Extremely simple and intuitive user interface

We put much into developing as simple and straightforward interface as possible in order to let you enjoy all functions of WinCatalog 2024 disk catalog software right after installation.

Contact management

Contacts, tags and storage management (including virtual folders usage)

  • Contact management allows you to control who you give a certain disk to.
  • Tag management allows you to assign a set of keywords (tags) to every element for quicker and more accurate search. While arranging the collection across virtual folders using drag'n'drop leaving the actual file and folder structure intact allows you to manage your disk catalog better.
  • Storage management allows you to add all possible disk storage places to the program. This could be, for instance, "box #1", "DVD holder #2", shelf for hard disk drives #1, etc., and to assign matching collection elements with every storage place. This is an enormous time saver when you have hundreds of disks and other media.

WinCatalog 2024 can generate reports

Report generation and XML, HTML or CSV (e.g. for MS Excel and other applications) export and printing

This function allows you to create nice reports, containing your file and disk catalog, to send to your friends, publish online, print or perform in-depth processing in MS Excel.

Unicode support

Unicode support and diacritics insensitive (or accent-insensitive) search

WinCatalog disk catalog software correctly deals with any names and titles regardless of the language thanks to full Unicode support.

The diacritics insensitive search allows finding files easier because, for example, it treats characters é and e, ñ and n, à and a, etc similarly. WinCatalog Disk Catalog Software correctly handles ß and ss when searching in German. The diacritics insensitive search works for all languages.

WinCatalog customers say:

This program is just what I needed to catalog my audio and video files. Now I can find my audio and video titles with just a press of a key. Many thanks for a great program."

Gordon Gentry

"Excellent software! Thank you for sticking to conventional look & feel as much as possible — it makes the program very intuitive to use. Also, the nested virtual folders alone are worth the money — no one else seems to understand or implement this feature correctly."

James Lohman

"By the way — fantastic program. I had used WinCatalog Light years ago. Now bought copies of Pro for myself and my wife for work and pleasure. Having cataloged old drives I have been able to easily find things I had long forgotten."
