WinCatalog 2009

[MerleOne]

Will be soon (March 16th) on BdJ http://www.bitsdujou...are/wincatalog-2008/ with 50% discount.  Seems a rather nice tool to me, I personnaly rely on the free lite version - for the moment.

are you familiar with any other catalogers that you could compare it with ?

Seems an interesting app, i may give the lite version a try soon.

I'm one happy customer (better go install it next lol)

As in, the upgrade from 2008 to 2009 is free OR you have to pay full price? I'm guessing the former, but thought I'd ask to be sure

I tried just a few from your review at https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=7764.0
I used for quite some time ADC from ElcomSoft.  I stopped using it when I noticed that it had trouble scanning withing multi-part zip archives, whereas WCL does this fine.  I still miss some features from ADC such as displaying the free space on a media in the status bar.

Also, updating a media can be very long and CPU intensive with WCL, it was quick with ADC.

They're pushing an upgrade offer to WinCatalog 2013 (including to 2014 when released) for ~$15
(if you have an older version, you should get the offer per email)
It seems to be still updated regularly - http://www.wincatalo...ory/wincatalog-2013/

do people still use disk catalogers? I have to admit I dont, but suspect I should...
I had this briefly installed once, but then the machine died, and I didnt install in new one.
Anyone still using it?

thanks for the quick response! I'm curious: why do you use two similar apps?

Redundancy I guess.  Cathy has a reduced set of features, but is very fast & compact, WinCatalog 2013, well, it's the opposite.  I get the best of both worlds and it's really not time consuming to use Cathy as well.

I have a license for WinCatalog 2011, but never really used it.  I wanted a cataloguer that would automatically import FILE_ID.DIZ and FILES.BBS data as descriptions in its catalogue, and it didn't do that.

This programme seems to be continually updated
Paid upgrade seems to be only every few years (if you own 2011 version it is still a free upgrade to 2015 version).

2015 version (including updates - "for noncommercial use") currently on offer for $14.99 this week via SharewareOnSale.
