Where Is It? is a program designed to help users organize and maintain a catalog of computer media collection, including CD-ROMs, diskettes, audio CDs, DVDs, removable drives, hard drives, network drives or any other media that Windows can access as a drive.

The most basic goal for Where Is It? 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.

Where is it? is a successor of successful DOS program Floppy Master, extending its capabilities to new and larger media storage devices and providing even more comprehensive access to stored data.

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.

Where Is It? 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.

Here are some key features of "WhereIsIt?":

· The total allowed capacity of all media in a single catalog is limited to 2 GB. You will not be able to add more disk images to the catalog if the total sum of all media capacities in the catalog already exceeds this limit. If you want to add more data, you will have to open a new catalog.
· Only one catalog can be opened at the time. If you would like to work with another catalog, you must close the current one first.
