“Create and manage multimedia catalogs”

WhereIsIt 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 besides.

Recent changes in WhereIsIt:

Completely rewritten and redesigned the Properties dialog, with some added functionality. The new design does away with crowded controls, subdialogs etc., and uses about five times less system resources.
A disk icon is now shown in top right corner for currently selected item when in categories view mode, offering quick access to disk's details.
When scanning NTFS formatted drive, reparse points and symbolic links are no longer followed and re-cataloged, avoiding data duplication and inconsistencies on disk size/usage.
Files that are compressed using file system compression (i.e. NTFS) are now marked as such in catalog, and show both compressed and real size in the Properties dialog.
Update Wizard now checks if application folder is writable, and requests administrator privileges when necessary.
Added documentation related to using the program in Windows Vista, with emphasis on User Account Control (UAC) restrictions likely to encounter.
Changed the default locations for catalog files, templates etc. Default folders are no longer set as subfolders on the location where WhereIsIt is installed, as this would typically place them inside "Program Files" folder, causing problems on Windows Vista with UAC. Note that this only applies to new installations, existing settings will remain unchanged.
Eliminated slowdowns when updating disk images with extremely high count of subfolders within the same parent folder.
Adjusted detecting Recycle Bin folder in Windows Vista.
Updated IMDB plugin for changed search results formatting on the IMDB web site.
