Simple Cataloger is an application that will log every file in a folder including all of its sub-folders and save that data in an easy read and use file. The purpose is to provide users who burn CDs that are sent to varied destinations a quick and easy way to record what has been burned.

Disc cataloging software is nothing new, In fact there are dozens of applications just like this one out there. So why is this one better?

First, and most important, it's fast. Really fast. In fact, "out of the box", it's one of the fastest available for the amount of metadata it collects. What takes other applications 30 seconds or more to scan our sample data (8700+ files on an internal volume), it takes Simple Cataloger only 15 seconds.

In addition, you get to choose what information is to be collected and what isn't in an easy to access menu. Just about every bit of information that can be found about a Finder item, inlcuding those only available via Applescript and Carbon can be collected through Simple Cataloger.

Finally, all of your data is saved in plain text files. Simple Cataloger never saves in a proprietary, binary-based format that no one can read except for the program that wrote it after it's long gone.

Simple Cataloger was born from the experience that one never knows how long archives will hang around. The ability to quickly and accurately scan and collect all the information needed about your data, particularly old data, for easy searching later is one of those things that you don't need often, but when you need it, you really need it.

We don't know about you, but we have archives that go back to before 2000. Think back to what your computer environment was like and how much it's changed: hardware, OS, software, especially the shareware you were using at the time to get through your day. Now look at it now and see how much of it is still around like your archives. How is this important? If you made catalogs of your disks in a proprietary format, what are the chances that the software to read it would still be around, much less even operate in current environments? Simple Cataloger only saves catalogs as text files, giving you one less thing to worry about in your data retention strategy. You need that archive information in a format that any operating system can read and search now AND seven years from now.

• Custom delimiters between data points.
• User selects when and where catalog metadata get saved (At beginning, at end, or not at all).
• Simple Cataloger is now a document-based application. Multiple catalogers can be run at the same time, and catalogers can be saved for later reuse.
• Added a Recent Items menu, and support for opening the most recent item by default when starting the application.
• The frontmost cataloger window can be saved as the default preferences.
• Verified Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) compatibility.
