Take control of your Multimedia collection whether on Hard Drive, CD, DVD or any other format. If accessible to a PC then the program will automatically extract information on the file. E.g. EXIF picture data, MP3 tags, Archive contents (including ZIP, CAB, RAR files). CDDB support (Audio CD's can have Artist and Track information filled in from the Internet's FreeDB service). Common Picture file types can be auto "Thumb nailed" for future reference. Multimedia files (Audio/Video) can be previewed from the catalog browser. - Or from the thumbnail display. (Double click the thumbnail and the Video will play in the thumbnail box.) Videos can be paused and a thumbnail captured. Files can be "Rated". Searches can be carried out using this rating value. Files can be tagged with multiple user defined "Keys" that can assist in organizing your catalog the way you want it. Keys can be added automatically at import time or manually after import. Example, Set a (auto) key to indicate that it is a "picture" file, then add extra keys to that file to define it more explicitly - say "Karen's Wedding Photo", then sub define it further if you wish. You can then easily return all the pictures in your catalog, categorized to the level you require. Powerful and flexible Disk or Directory Add feature. Contents can be filtered to exclude (or only include!) files that match your defined/pre-set conditions. - Thereby automatically eliminating unwanted files saving you time, effort and wasted catalog space. Drag and drop support, to and from, the main file detail fields. For example, do a web search for some information on a catalog file, drag a picture to the thumbnail spot directly from your browser. Do the same for any desired text you wish to store. File records returned in searches can be transferred with one mouse click.
