Note: You can also use the UI Tool to configure the -UpdateAll / -UpdateConnected command and run the process. Please read more here.

Update All

Use the -UpdateAll (-ua) key to update all drives, folder or files in the catalog:

-UpdateAll

-ua

Important

1. The -UpdateAll command cannot be used together with the -CatalogPath command; only one of these commands can be used at a time.

2. By default, the -UpdateAll command temporarily disables the Update Report to avoid interrupting the update process. If you want to display the Update Report after the update for each drive is complete, use the -UpdateReport Show command.

3. The -UpdateAll command prioritizes updating connected drives first. After completing updates for the connected drives, it will prompt you to connect any remaining unconnected drives for updates..

Examples:

WinCatalog.exe –Open “d:\my catalog.w3cat” –UpdateAll -ExitWhenDone -Log “D:\UpdateAll.log”

The command starts WinCatalog, open the catalog file “d:\my catalog.w3cat” and updates all drives in the catalog file and saves the log of the operations to “D:\UpdateAll.log”

Update Connected Drives

Use the -UpdateConnected (-uc) key to update all the connected drives, folder or files in the catalog:

-UpdateConnected

-uc

Important

1. The -UpdateConnected command cannot be used together with the -CatalogPath command; only one of these commands can be used at a time.

2. By default, the -UpdateConnected command temporarily disables the Update Report to avoid interrupting the update process. If you want to display the Update Report after the update for each drive is complete, use the -UpdateReport Show command.

Examples:

WinCatalog.exe –Open “d:\my catalog.w3cat” –UpdateConnected -ExitWhenDone -Log “D:\UpdateAll.log”

The command starts WinCatalog, open the catalog file “d:\my catalog.w3cat” and updates all the connected drives in the catalog file and saves the log of the operations to “D:\UpdateAll.log”
