Hello! Summer ended, and we’re glad to announce, that a new version of disk catalog software WinCatalog 2015 has been released.
The new version of our disk cataloger brings improvements and new features.
After updating a disk or a folder, WinCatalog displays synchronization report where it shows all the added, updated and removed files and folders.
Now WinCatalog allows to set the font size for the Properties window (rightmost panel displaying attributes for the selected items). You can choose from Small, Medium, Large and XL. Small is the default. You can change this option on the Look & Feel page of the program’s options.
The new version grabs and displays more Exif tags from image files and digital photographs. In addition to previously supported tags, WinCatalog now displays aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO equivalent, and others.
Now WinCatalog displays progress indicator when importing from another collection or when deleting a disk or a folder. The deletion process itself has been also improved.
File operations were improved. Now if you click “Execute” or “Open in Explorer” for a file or a folder from within an archive, WinCatalog will execute (or open in explorer) the archive instead of showing “file not found” message.
Save button added to the Thumbnail page of the Properties window - now you can save associated thumbnails to the disk as Jpeg images.
WinCtalog can now find items if you type a part of the linked tag (or tags) in the search field. In other words, you search for tags and find linked files and folders as well. This feature is turned on by default, but only for new collection files. For existing collection files, you should rebuild the search index and include the “Tags associated” field into the index. To rebuild Search Index, please click the Collection Management button, then Search Index.
When you open a new search tab, the Look In field will automatically contain the path to the selected folder.
In search results, if you click Open in Collection on a tag - the linked items will be shown in the list view.
Command line parameter “-CatalogPath” now accepts several paths separated by semicolons. It allows running the Update commands for several disks or folders in a queue.
The new version contains an ability to compress collection file by utilizing unnecessary space that may be left after deleting a large a large number of files. To access this function click the Collection Management button, and then Collection Tools button on the Collection page.
