We are glad to inform you that the new updated version of WinCatalog has been just released. It contains some improvements and new features.
The search function behavior has been modified. Now you shouldn’t add leading asterisk into the search queries to find all occurrences of the search term.
The ability to automatically backup your collection files on a regular basis has been added. WinCatalog will gently remind you to backup your data (or it will do that automatically).
The collection converter has been improved. Now it can convert collections created with any previous version of WinCatalog (including WinCatalog Light).
Now it is possible to minimize WinCatalog during the scanning process.
The option to unlock list view columns has been added. Now it is possible to scroll list view right and left.
A drag&drop issue has been fixed.
The ability to access the program documentation (help file) from the main window has been added.
WinCatalog now automatically rotates thumbnails according to EXIF orientation tag (on processing pictures).
WinCatalog can now generate CSV reports (HTML reports are coming) based on a search results or on a custom set of folders.
Some features have not been included into the update, but will be released with the next one:
The ability to exclude hidden and system files and folders (like Recycle Bin) from the scanning.
Basic HTML reports.
The ability to search for duplicates.
The ability to export a part of a collection into another collection file.

New Year 2012 is the year of significant improvements for WinCatalog. The development of the new major version 4.0 has been officially started today on December 30, 2011. Version 4 will have its own and new platform to be more powerful, featureful and reliable (but the collection files created with any previous version will be supported). The new version will be developed simultaneously with updating the current version. The first preview will be available in Q2, 2012.
upd: The issue with “WinCatalog.log” file on the desktop is fixed. It was a hardcoded debug info inside the program. Now it is switched off. Please re-download and re-install the new version if you see the file. Sorry for the inconvenience!
And in the final once again: Happy New Year 2012!
