Hello, we’re glad to announce that a new update of our disk catalog software WinCatalog 2015 has been just released (version number is 15).
This is a maintenance update, it improves the scanning and updating speeds, especially for folders with a lot of files.
A new startup option was added: now you can choose if you wish to expand Tags, Locations and Contacts branches. Disabling this option helps WinCatalog to start faster (in case if you have a lot of tags in your collection).
The second new option improves scanning speed: you can tell WinCatalog to skip the calculation process and do not display the total number of files on the Scanning Progress dialog. Previously WinCatalog skipped the calculation of total number of files automatically for optical drives (CD, DVD, DVD-RW, Blu-ray, etc). Now you can turn it off for all types of drives. Enabling this option may give advantages not only for slow drives, but for regular HDD or even for SSD.
One more new feature allows you to set a timeout for processing files by external file processing modules. Now if it takes too long to process a file, WinCatalog will just skip it and move to the next one. The default value is 10 seconds (but for optical drives WinCatalog multiplies the value by 3).
