Publisher's Review:
WhereIsIt 3.97 is an application written for 32-bit Windows operating systems, designed to help you maintain and organize a catalog of your computer media collection, including CD-ROMs, audio CDs, diskettes, removable drives, hard drives, network drives, DVDs, or any other media that Windows can access as a drive. The most basic goal for WhereIsIt is to provide access to the contents of any media you have from a cataloged database, even if the media itself is not available on the system - you can browse lists of files and folders, search by any criteria, use descriptions, thumbnails, categories, flags, etc.
WhereIsIt can be used to handle any kind of data, including downloaded programs, magazine CD-ROMs, music collections like MP3s or audio CDs, graphics collections, document backups, etc. WhereIsIt can handle lots of them, too, a couple hundreds or thousands disks in a catalog is nothing unusual, yet catalogs remain reasonably small, single-filed and easy to transfer or send to other users. You can also create more than one catalog, and at any time open and work with as many catalogs at once as needed.
WhereIsIt is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, Explorer-like user interface, combined with strong searching and reporting capabilities, multi-language support, automated description and thumbnails importing through extendable plugins from more than 70 different sources, and much more.
Changelog:
(WhereIsIt? version 3.97)
- Introducing new major runtime plugin, targeted at TV series collections. TheTVDB TV series plugin is similar to the IMDB plugin, extracting details about TV series and individual episodes from the TheTVDB.com web site, using their API interface with XML data retrieval. The plugin features automatic file name cleanup, season/episode detection, utilizes smart data caching to minimize data download, and is optimized for extracting information for multiple files at once with as little interference and user input as possible.
- Added native UDF file system support to ISO images. UDF file system is used on newer media like DVDs, replacing already support CDFS. WhereIsIt can now read contents and extract files from UDF formatted ISO images.
- Added UDF ISO image plugin, providing description for UDF ISO image files.
- Enhanced Application Icons thumbnail plugin, instead of default 32x32 icons it now extracts the largest available icon size to be used as a thumbnail.
- User interface in advanced search expression editor has been optimized for faster and easier editing of search expressions. Context-sensitive popup menu has been added for quick, on-the-spot editing. You can also quickly enlarge search expression font size, choosing between three different sizes for easier readability.
- As in Explorer, when renaming files only the file name part is preselected for editing without the file extension, making it easier to rename files and safeguarding against accidental extension changes.
- Several minor user interface adjustments, like the size of icons in message boxes complying with high DPI settings.
- Fixed moving disk groups between different catalogs using drag&drop. In certain cases of groups structure, disk groups hierarchy wouldn't be preserved in the target catalog. Moving disk groups with Catalog Manager instead of using drag&drop was not affected.
- Several other miscellaneous minor adjustments and improvements
