WinCatalog 2012 (version 3.5.11) fixes the issue which caused the collection file size increase. Previously when you updated (or synchronized) a disk or folder with pictures using any prior version of WinCatalog 2012, WinCatalog added new thumbnails for pictures but did not delete old ones from the collection. These additional thumbnails increased the size of the collection files.
Now the issue is fixed. You do not need to perform any special actions to clean-up the collection. Next time when you update your discs or folders WinCatalog will cleanup all extra-thumbnails and will keep only a single copy of each image.
You can download the latest version here.
upd: the new version also adds 3 new columns to the list view: Disk Total, Free and Used spaces. You can show these columns by making a right mouse click on the column header of the list view.
