Function of virtual folders

The virtual folders simplify and structure information in the catalog. You may create as many virtual folders as you want and put your disks, folders, files or custom records into them. The best example illustrating how the virtual folders work is dividing your collection by genre: Audio CD, Mp3, Software, Games, Books etc. Each virtual folder can have unlimited number of subfolders and subitems. See distributed collection sample #sample.wcat (93.5 KB) for live example.
