We are glad to announce that the first beta version of WinCatalog 2010 has been published today.
The new version is database driven. It can operate with collections of any size. No matter how many discs or files are stored in your collection – WinCatalog 2010 will handle all of them!
The second great feature is that WinCatalog 2010 can create picture thumbnails for most popular image types and store them inside the catalog. The thumbnail previews are available even without the link to the original files, so if you search for a photo or picture, you can preview it BEFORE reaching the disc!
WinCatalog 2010 is available for downloading and testing, however it is not available for sale until September 1st (while it has beta status). Every user who purchased WinCatalog 2009 will get the upgrade for free after that date. The upgrade from earlier paid versions of WinCatalog will be 50% of the single license price (US $14.95). The upgrade will be available on September 1st when suffix Beta will be removed from the title.
You can read more about WinCatalog 2010 beta and download it here.

We are ahead of the new release and now we are publishing new screenshot of WinCatalog 2010. On the screenshots you can see one new feature of WinCatalog 2010: thumbnail extraction.
While scanning a disc WinCatalog 2010 creates thumbnail images for most popular picture formats (Jpeg, Png, Bmp, etc) and stores them inside the collection file. Lately the saved thumbnails can be viewed even if the original files are unavailable.

WinCatalog.com wishes you and yours a holiday time filled with fun, happiness and joy.
Christmas is a very special time of the year for everyone. For most of us it’s a time for checking our plans, setting new goals and performing a ‘reloading’ to be more organized.
We wish you to get more and more disks to organize with WinCatalog in the New Year. In our turn we will release the new version of WinCatalog 2010 very soon. This version will work with huge collection much faster.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

We are glad to announce that a new maintenance update of WinCatalog 2009 has been just released. The version number is 2.87.

We are glad to announce that a new version of WinCatalog 2009 has been just released. The new version can now calculate CRC32 checksum for files (in additional to MD5 checksum from an earlier version).
The option to calculate the CRC32 is switched off by default. To enable it, please run WinCatalog 2009, click Tools menu item, then click Program’s Options and follow to the Scanning tab to mark the correspondent checkbox. It is also possible to exclude small files from CRC32 calculation.
The CRC32 calculation works faster than the MD5 calculation; however it still slows down the scanning process.
The other improvement of the new release is MP3 file scanning enhancement. Now WinCatalog 2009 correctly works with MP3 files with broken or invalid ID3 tags.
