This software enables cataloguing of digital media with powerful search and file management capabilities, ability to locate duplicate documents without accessing the disk, and monitoring of changes on the hard disk.

One of the key features of ACAT is the ability to create different categories depending on the kind of files you want to catalog. For instance, users can create their own catalogs for music files or a document library, among others, even if all the files are stored in multiple directories on one drive. The program features powerful search capabilities that help to find files easily. The search function can locate files using Boolean expressions, file names, descriptions, notes, and keywords, or using size and date limits. And best of all, this is done without physically accessing the disks.
Once the user has located the desired file, Advanced CATaloguer allows them to view its properties, open it or launch Windows Explorer to its parent folder, depending on what action they need to perform. Additionally, the program allows all file management functions, enabling users to perform operations like moving, copying, or deleting files on groups of certain files. Users can find documents modified after a certain date, and copy them into one folder for backup purposes.
Advanced CATaloguer also has a synchronization feature that allows users to monitor changes on a hard drive. When users synchronize data on a drive or in an individual folder, a dialog box is displayed to show all new, modified, and deleted files. This helps users keep their files up to date and avoid accidentally deleting files. Additionally, the program's unique Find Duplicates feature lets users locate duplicate documents on the hard drive. ACAT compares files by name, size, and modification date/time, as well as their CRC32 code, making it impossible to miss identical or confuse different files.
Overall, Advanced CATaloguer is an intuitive and user-friendly software that provides users with an innovative way to catalogue their digital files. With its powerful search capabilities, file management functions and synchronization features, this program provides an all-in-one solution to help users manage their files efficiently.
