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!

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!

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.

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.
