The new update will mostly contain bug fixes. Hello, we’re glad to announce that the new version of WinCatalog was just released.
Just install the latest version over the existing one. You do not need to uninstall a previous version of WinCatalog.

You can see the example of the context menu on the screenshot. The ability to change the sort order in the left Tree view and the Thumbnails view via context menus (right mouse click) was added. The progress indicator for duplicates finder didn’t work properly: it reached 100% but the search was still active, now this behavior is fixed. The periodic backup reminder popped up twice if canceled. Minor issues were fixed: the grid view occasionally switched to the thumbnails view (and automatically back) in some circumstances. Then, the “Audio Files” module was starting, and after not finding thumbnails in the ID3 tags (or ID3 tags in general) it was deleting existing thumbnails (added previously by the Media Info module). The “Media Information” module was starting first and grabbed thumbnails. The issue occurred only for files processed by both Media Information and Audio Information modules, mostly for. The version number is 2020.6.Ī critical issue was fixed: when updating drives, WinCatalog didn’t capture new thumbnails for some video files. To download WinCatalog 2020.7 please click here. The option to exclude small files from checksum/hashes calculation was turned off by default (affects new catalog files only). The File Operation Queue opening speed was significantly improved for cases when the File Operation Queue contains a large number of files from drives not connected to the computer.
The new addition fixes an issue when two different disks (volumes) have equal volume serial numbers.
Now WinCatalog uses two fields: volume serial number and volume label to identify volumes. ‘Search Index wasn’t Updated’ issue after running the Add File command and selecting multiple files at once was fixed.Ī mouse wheel incorrect scrolling behavior was fixed when the mouse wheel is in the page scroll mode. Now WinCatalog treats them as 3 different search queries, and search results will be different for all three queries. Previously, all these characters were considered as word separators, and search queries “#word”, “#word”, and “word$” (without quotes) were equal for WinCatalog. It is possible now to find files using non-alphabetic characters in search queries (%, &, #, etc). The search logic was updated in this release.

The Insert or Connect Disk prompt (WinCatalog displays it when you perform a file operation involving a drive that is not connected to the computer) now displays the Volume Label property in addition to other fields. The new addition takes effect for newly scanned drives only, for drives already added by never updated, WinCatalog will continue to display “Never” for Date Updated. Now when adding a disk for the first time, the Date Updated field is set equal to the Date Added field, so now sorting by Date Updated works well now. In the example above, WinCatalog will update “Drive 2” located in the “Photos” folder in the Catalog, then the “Current” drive located in the “Backups”, and then exit (because the /ExitWhenDone parameter was passed). WinCatalog.exe /Update /CatalogPath "Catalog\Photos\Drive 2 Catalog\Backups\Current" /ExitWhenDone The example of passing two paths when updating drives via command line: The new version fixes some issues with the command-line interface (CLI), it now correctly handles multiple paths passed via the catalog path (/CatalogPath or /cp) parameter, paths should be separated by semicolons, and the /ShowInCatalog behavior.
