Hello, we’re glad to inform you that a new version of WinCatalog 2016 was released today: version number 16.3.
This is a maintenance update that brings more stability, adds new features and fixes some issues (mostly occurred in Windows 7). The visible changes are the following.
Importing and exporting tags. This feature will be useful for those who uses the Tags functionality a lot. Now it is possible to import a list of tags from a text file and save the tags into a text file (for example, for adding them to another catalog file). To import/export tags, please open the Tags manager or follow to the Tags tab in the Properties of any item and you will see new Export and Import buttons next to the New and Delete buttons.
Collapsable progress dialog. Now you can show more or less info during scanning a disk. Just click a small up/down arrow next to the Progress bar to show more or less info.

Hello, we’re glad to announce that a new update of our file and disk catalog software was released today. WinCatalog 2016 version 16.21.
This is a maintenance update that fixes the issue with cropping large thumbnails extracted from video files. Now WinCatalog extracts large thumbnails (1080+ pixels on the larger side) and all other thumbnails correctly.

Hello, we’re glad to inform you that a new update of WinCatalog has been just released. The version number is 16.2.
The list of additions and improvements:
A new option for the Type search filter - “Disks and root folders” allows finding disks and root folders (meaning the folders added via the Add Folder command).
New search filter option - an ability to limit search depth was added.
The Tags row of the Search Filter now saves the selected tags and the Condition.
The command line parameter -ShowInCatalog has been improved: now it switches left tabs if a tag, a location or a contact is passed to show.
An ability to extract embedded thumbnails for images (if available) instead of generating new thumbnails based on the original image was added. This feature increases the scanning speed for pictures that have embedded thumbnails, however, the size of the embedded thumbnails is usually 120 pixels for the larger side. This feature is turned off by default.

Hello, we are glad to inform you that today we have released a new version of WinCatalog (version number 16.1). The new version contains new features and improvements. The short list of the new features is the following.
Improvements of the Search feature:
Now WinCatalog can search using filter BETWEEN for sizes and dates
A new search condition added to the Search By Tags feature: now EACH OF finds items with all listed tags linked (and any other tags linked), ONLY finds items with the only tags listed in the field.
Improvements of the Reports:
WinCatalog can now generate XML reports.
Now WinCatalog can export Thumbnails and Icons into HTML reports.
Synchronization report:
Now WinCatalog can save synchronization report into XML, HTML or CSV, the keyboard shortcut CTRL+S added for the Save command.
WinCatalog can now copy the Sync Report lines to the Clipboard as HTML (a context menu for the Copy command and keyboard shortcuts CTRL+C/CTRL+INS were added as well).
Other improvements:
A new option for double click actions added - now you can set up Open in Explorer double click action for files only or for files and folders.
WinCatalog now opens the contents of the folder if Open In Explorer executed on a folder. Previously File Explorer selected the folder instead of showing the contents.
Now if a tag is selected, the status bar area displays the number of linked entries.
Other minor fixes.

Hello! We’re glad to inform you, that a new version of our disk catalog software WinCatalog 2015 has been released. The version number is 15.4. This is a maintenance update, that contains fixes, improvements, and one experimental feature.
The most important changes are:
If the “Scan only folders (do not add files to the catalog)” option is selected, the new version of WinCatalog correctly calculates a size of added folders (previously, the size of empty folders was always zero).
Now you can change a type of any disk in a catalog and WinCatalog will keep the changed type after disk updates.
If you partially update a disk or a folder, WinCatalog will correctly handle paths for the other not updated items.
Minor GUI fixes.
The experimental feature: SuperMode. Previously you could move any item (file, disk or folder) from real (yellow) folders to virtual (blue) folders. Now with SuperMode you can move any item (even non-file one) to any folder. This feature can be helpful, if you want to move previously moved files and folders back to their original location.
The feature can be enabled only via the command line parameter “-smode” with three options: “on” - to enable the feature, “off” - to disable it, and “tmp” - to temporarily enable it for one program session:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCatalog\WinCatalog.exe" -smode on
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCatalog\WinCatalog.exe" -smode off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinCatalog\WinCatalog.exe" -smode tmp
To download WinCatalog 2015 version 15.4, please click here. You do not need to uninstall a previous version of WinCatalog. Just install the latest version over the existing one. The upgrade is free for everyone, who owns a license for WinCatalog 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Dear friends!
Today on October 15th, 2015 our company celebrates its birthday – 14 years since foundation! Since 2001, we develop and constantly improve our main product WinCatalog.
Time flies, technology is changing. Cataloguing started with 100 MB Zip disks and 640 MB CDs (and, of course, 1.44 MB floppy disks), but today WinCatalog handles dozens of 4 TB hard drives, hundreds of Blu-ray discs and thousands of data DVDs in a single catalog file!
We do our best to make WinCatalog fully conforming to all modern challenges.
Thank you that you are with us!
