I tried all the free and shareware ones a while back and finally ended up using Cathy. But it does lack a few things that I'd like such as -
- find as you type
- categories (so I can have a separate one for external disks, laptop, pc)
- storing additional data (thumbnails, movie info etc) via plugins and search over this data
But any replacement must have the things I love about Cathy -
- fast!
- small and portable (I have my cathy folder synced using dropbox and its wonderful)
- built in duplicates search
- no frills, stable, gets the job done
- freeware (not a must but preferable)
Since it hasn't been updated in a while, I'm wondering if there's something else out there.
