WinCatalog is a versatile cataloging software for disks, files, folders, and all non-file objects. It's not always easy to know where certain files are located on your computer, especially if you have a large collection of CDs and DVDs.
WinCatalog is a utility designed to help you find documents and data on your computer by creating an index that allows you to access them instantly. This program can be mastered even by less experienced users, as it features a simple interface.
WinCatalog is a truly comprehensive tool, so it would be natural to expect drag-and-drop support in such an application. While the developer hasn't included this option, they have made the process of adding files to the list quite simple. You can add a fixed or removable drive, specific folders, or individual files to the catalog. Virtual folders and custom items can be created fairly easily.
The application works quickly and is able to correctly display the contents of your folders while preserving the hierarchical structure. It remembers file attributes (e.g., path, size, and creation dates), and you can also preview them in the right-hand panel.
WinCatalog software can search your entire collection using its built-in search engine. Simply type the file name or use additional filters for more precise results, such as size, tags, locations, and date. It includes multi-tab support, meaning you can work with multiple searches simultaneously.
It is also possible to add tags to your items, find duplicate files, add contacts, manage loaned disks, and copy files to another disk directly from WinCatalog. Furthermore, each catalog can be exported as an HTML or CSV file.
You can customize its appearance by switching between grid or thumbnail display modes.
Overall, WinCatalog is a very useful solution for all users who want to find documents. It contains many useful features that facilitate and speed up the entire search process.
