Welcome to WhereIsIt-Soft.com, the home of shareware edition of Where Is It? cataloging software. WhereIsIt is an application written for Windows operating systems, and designed to help you maintain and organize a catalog of your computer media collection, including CD-ROMs, audio CDs, diskettes, removable drives, hard drives, network drives, DVDs, or any other present or future storage media Windows can access as a drive. The primary goal for WhereIsIt is to provide access to the contents of cataloged disks, even when they are not available on the system, or even not your own. You can browse their contents, search for items you need, use imported descriptions and thumbnails, and organize data using categories, flags etc.

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. WhereIsIt 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.

Version 3.90 - 8. December 2007

* Searching is now diactric insensitive by default, and will ignore diactric marks in file names and descriptions. In order to search for literal characters as specified in search expression, include your search expression in double quotes. Examples are in the help file.
* Search engine has been heavily optimized for speed, with most critical parts rewritten in assembly language for best performance. Recent additions such as Unicode support and diactric insensitive searching take their toll in increased processing required when searching. With last batch of optimizations, searching speed in version 3.90 is on par with previous versions, and considerably faster when not using whole words searching, case insensitivity, or diactric insensitivity.
* Sorting by filenames in item lists now supports Smart Sorting instead of strictly using standard lexicographic sorting. With Smart Sorting, numbers in file names are detected and sorted as numbers instead of comparing them character by character. This way, Smart Sorting always lists files with smaller numbers first ("A2" comes before "A12").
* Searching by regular expressions now supports Unicode.
* Fixed searching being prematurely interrupted and aborted in some very specific cases.
* Fixed extracting files from some .zip archives with Unicode file name.
* Fixed an issue with password protected catalogs using non-ASCII characters in their passwords.
* Updated help file with some details about Unicode support is various parts of the program.
* Updated DcrawPlugin to the latest version of dcraw.c.
* Several other minor cosmetical fixes in various places, mostly related to handling Unicode
