InsideCAT is a disc-cataloguing program for computers with Windows operating systems. Mostly CD-ROM and DVD-ROM, although it can also work with any other type of disc. Besides, it allows us to catalogue music CD-Audio discs. InsideCAT offers support for compressed files (ZIP, RAR, CAB, ACE, JAR, ARJ, LZH, LHA, ARC, ZOO, PAK, TAR, GZIP, EXE) and 22 formats of media files. It can index the content of our drive or media for offline searching. Once indexed, we can search the media without having to insert the physical disk. The program offers simple text search, as well as advanced search with support for wildcards, regular expressions, attribute search, printing, export and more. Anyone who may ever have searched for any file from a group of CDs may appreciate the utility of this program. Although there are many other similar programs, InsideCAT is an easy to use, powerful and reliable disc-cataloguing program I have used. Following are some key functions and advantages of InsideCAT, including:

With InsideCAT we can catalog any disk and any file. InsideCAT stores all the information of the folders and files of our PC discs in order to be able to consult it without having the disk inside the PC. Besides, it allows us to catalogue music CD-Audio discs (manually or automatically with Internet). The information stored from our files and folders is all the information useful to store in this kind of programs. Name, size, last modification date, creation date, attributes and the list of nested files that it may have... In addition, the most important data from many multimedia files will be extracted. Naturally, the cataloguing is automatic: insert the disk in the reader, indicate it to the program together with the desired name for the new disk and press the button. The disk will be catalogued in a few seconds. We can also create catalogues from a particular folder, and from all its sub-folders. Finally, and regarding the creation of catalogues, we must point up the "Re-catalogue" option, intended for RW discs, which allows us to actualise the modifications needed in the catalogue without missing the descriptions we may have made.

Besides the files and folders that we find in our disk, InsideCAT can scan the files compressed inside others (ZIP, RAR, CAB, ACE, JAR, ARJ, LZH, LHA, ARC, ZOO, PAK, TAR, GZIP, SQX) up to a total of fourteen different formats (practically all of common use). Including the self-extracted of many of them! The files with nested files inside will appear in bold and their content can be seen with a simple double click. InsideCAT allows also to decompress all these formats. Finding out compressed files from which we haven t got a decompressor will never again be a problem!

Another great option of InsideCAT is that it can catalogue some inner data of the most important multimedia formats. To be precise, five types of file formats are supported: Documents (PDF, DOC, DOT), Bitmap Image (BMP, DIB, RLE, PCX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG2000, TIF, TGA, PNG), Audio (WAV, AC3), Music (MP3, WMA, OGG) and Video files (AVI, WMV, ASF, MPG, HAV, FLI/FLC). Besides, the program provides its own routines to process these files, depending not on other software (exception for WMV y ASF formats).

InsideCAT provides powerful searching functions. We can use five types of textual searching to find programs or files. From the classical searching of ordinary text (exact), to the approximate (with mistakes) sophisticated searchings, including, of course, three types of searchings with wildcards (similar to the operator LIKE of SQL): wildcards, superwilcards and Perl5 RegExp. provide will search even among the names of colection and catalogue, authors and Subjects/Genre. And also, of course, it will search into the descriptions of file/folder. Likewise it has functions to search every catalogued multimedia data. There are three modes for the search screen: easy mode, advanced or multimedia mode.

InsideCAT is intuitive and versatile. It uses all the graphic resources of Windows to be handy (grids, buttons, tabs...) and other standard actions of the keyboard and the mouse: F2 to modify, Del to remove, Enter to accept, double click to open... Very intuitive. The navigation screen among catalogues is very similar to the Windows Explorer in the detail view. We also have a complete help file, in 32 bits HLP format, it will help us to become familiar with the most advanced options. Every screen available have a button to take us to the corresponding chapter of the Help file.

InsideCAT provides many additional advanced functions for professional user. InsideCAT enables us to add a small description (sentence) to each catalogued file (or folder), to be able to describe its content if its name wasn t explicit enough. Obviously, every textual searching options will also be applied to the description. InsideCAT has functions like cut and paste to move catalogues or collections, we can also create new collections or erase them. The amount or level s space of the collections is not limited in any way. In InsideCAT grids where files are shown (the catalogue and the searching ones) there are buttons to open files.

In addition, InsideCAT is free for us and it does not contain any adware or spyware. It is a standalone software and does not need any extra software and hardware requirement. It works with most recent variants of Windows and its current version is 4.02. With all these features, simple interface, excellent usability and free trial - why are you still reading?
