Indexing a Disk

Indexing a Disk

Click Add Disk

On the Main tab click Disk button on the Adding panel to index a new disc.

Select a Disk to Add

Select a disk you want to index. In our example it will be a DVD with photos. Click OK when done.

Wait the Process is Finished

Please wait while WinCatalog scans the disc. The disc scanning process can take some time. It depends on a number of files on the disc and on the file types. On finishing WinCatalog will play “tada” sound.

The Disk is Added

The newly added disc will be displayed in the program. You do not need to click Save button: WinCatalog 2026 saves all changes automatically.

Unplug or Eject the Drive

You can eject the disc from the computer. WinCatalog no longer needs the disc.

Loop

Repeat steps 1-5 for each drive you want to index.
