GENERAL NOTES
=============
WhereIsIt? was designed with a single goal in mind - to create an
easy-to-use, but powerful media catalog program, made to make our lives
easier. Familiar and simplified user interface, extensive search
capabilities and archive file support, combined with powerful report
generator and compact, but rich in details database, all that should
bring you the ultimate tool to handle your software collection.
WhereIsIt? is a shareware software. See ORDER.TXT for more information
on how to register this program. Be sure to read carefully the
LICENSE.TXT file before using the program. The unregistered version
imposes some limitations to the user, which are removed by registering
the program. More information about these limitations can be found later
in this document.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================
- Windows 95, 98, or Windows NT 4.0 or newer
- At least 8 MB of RAM is strongly recommended, 16 MB or more preferred.
- 5.0 MB free hard disk space for program installation and catalogs.
- Mouse or other Windows-compatible pointing device strongly recommended.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
==================
Suitable for beginners and advanced users
-----------------------------------------
Very adjustable program with many options for power users, as well as
easy to use with default settings and Quick-Setup Wizard for all those
who don't want to get their hands dirty.
Explorer-like interface
-----------------------
Easy to use, familiar Explorer-like user interface with adjustable
toolbar,columns to choose between, and extensive use of object menus
(right mouse click). Full multi-language support is included.
Wide media and file system support
----------------------------------
Where is it? supports any media type Windows can use, including
diskettes, CD-ROMs, removable disks like iomega Zip, hard disk, network
drives etc. It will recognize and collect useful data for most of them,
too. Also, it is compatible with all Windows-supported file systems,
including FAT, FAT32, and NTFS.
Manageable catalog files
------------------------
Logical organization of databases, based on one or more catalogs. Each
catalog can easily be transferred as a single file to another computer,
a friend, a public forum... Small catalog-file size, with approximate
usage of 1 MB for 30.000 files and folders (that's about 5 fully filed
CD-ROMs). Internal database structure optimized for very efficient
access and small total size. Single-file, transferable catalog storage
makes sharing your data easy.
Fast access to item's properties
--------------------------------
Fast and easy access to every item's detailed properties, from wherever
you are. Want to get item's description? Just leave mouse pointer on it
for a moment, description will popup as a tool-tip!.
Detailed info with descriptions
-------------------------------
Detailed info on every object in the database (files, folders, disks,
catalogs,...) each capable of accepting up to 4000 characters of
description text. Each file or folder can have assigned user-defined
category or up to three flags.
Importing descriptions, plugins, help with describing items
-----------------------------------------------------------
Auto-importing and exporting descriptions from 4DOS/NDOS, FILE_ID.DIZ,
FILES.BBS, 00INDEX.TXT,... description files, even if they are compressed
inside zip, arj,... archive files! It can also import data about some
special file types, like EXE programs and system libraries descriptions,
CD-ROM audio tracks, WAV and MP3 file info etc. WhereIsIt's own open
standard Description API allows you to add your own description plugins
and extend WhereIsIt's description importing capabilities. There is also
a Description Assistant, interactive tool to help you describe your
folders, based on special (custom defined) description files like
FILE_ID.DIZ or read-me files.
Internal support for many compressed file formats
-------------------------------------------------
Handling of most compressed file formats on media scan, including ZIP,
ARJ, RAR, CAB, LHA/LZH, TAR, ARC, ACE, ZOO, GZ, SFX... Compressed archive
files can be presented as folders, showing their content. Archive files
can be extracted right out from WhereIsIt? to any folder, and a file
compressed inside archive file can be viewed or launched with associated
program with one click!
Powerful searching finds what you need
--------------------------------------
Powerful multi-threaded searching, with detailed settings on what to
search for, where to search and how to search. Use either Quick Search to
quickly find your items by name or description, or start up the Advanced
Search with Search Expression Editor, allowing you to write complex
search queries using full set of available search criteria and Boolean
logic operators. Searching for duplicate items is there, too, as well as
analyzing how data has changed since last cataloging, or checking if
older or newer versions of files are present somewhere in the catalog.
Amazing report generator with print preview for summarizing your catalogs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustable and powerful report generator adds a final professional touch
to your catalog collection. Export your data to ASCII file, Excel table,
rich-text document, HTML document, print on your printer, or send by fax
using the Microsoft Fax, after previewing it on full-screen, with
adjustable zoom.
Script language for automated tasks
-----------------------------------
Professional version of WhereIsIt includes internal script language that
can help you automate tasks like unattended catalog updates.
... and more!
If you have some ideas on your own how to further improve this program,
feel free to send in your suggestions, preferably by e-mail (address is
available at the end of this document).
MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT
======================
This program supports selecting one of prepared languages to be used in
program's user interface, and even preparing language files for currently
unsupported languages (read more about this in program's help file).
If, for any reason, you would like to switch back to default English
language, and are unable to do so in program because you can't understand
or correctly display currently selected language, you can run the program
from command line with this special parameter:
WhereIsIt.exe /English
This will effectively run the program with English language, ignoring
current language settings.
