In your comment for CDFinder, you write "Please, no more pop up windows." Yet DiskCatalogMaker uses the exact same approach to windowing that CDFinder does.
Can pou explain that?
And does DiskCatalogMaker display the actual thumbnails of photos anywhere, outside the needless Cover Flow gimmick or the tiny Get Info window? CDFinder actually does, and it even has an icon view so you can actually use the thumbnails... And lets not start tlaking about the whole metadata abilities...

I use CDFinder, but only consult it when absolutely necessary because of the horrid interface. It just seems wholly unintuitive and tedious.
I don't fully like the left pane functionality, and the right pane is a pain.

You keep on bashing CDFinder for its allegedly "horrid interface". But yet you fail to substantiate this weird claim, even when asked directly.
I love the CDFinder interface, it is very clear, and show my thumbnails in any size I want. I totally fail to understand your opinion...

When I got this with Toast I was more than happy. It is reliable, reasonably intuitive and fast, does batch scanning and auto-scan & eject of CDs, allows correction of disk names and separate libraries for different categories.
The search function is a little odd, depending where you do it, I am never quite sure it is searching one or all libraries. I'd also love to search across multiple parameters.
It also tends to dump scanned volumes into the default library even though I would rather it go into the foremost library, then I have to drag the scanned volumes across to where I really want them.
All in all it does most of what you want, has a clear pleasant legible interface and works well with Toast, cataloguing each disk as you burn it.

Whilst the RE version that comes with Toast works reasonably well, there are quirks. Because the search and find is cumbersome for catalogs of for instance my RIPed DVDs, I make up an indexed list by copying from the DiskCatalogMakerRE list, hopefully as large a range as I can, usually from each archive disk.
Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to select the text. I have tried everything: holding down modifier keys, double or multiple clicking, sliding into each part, clicking on a higher hierarchy then a lower. When I finally succeed I have no idea why. Sometimes it just stubbornly won't let me select the text at all.
I have exported the data as text hoping to clean it up and use that but it doesn't produce a clean tab delimited text file. Volume names run into file and folder names. The only tabs are used to separate the file size data and creator dates.
The developers are uncontactable, the website offers no feedback, forums nor contact emails. This certainly bodes ill for me should I upgrade to the full version and still encounter these problems.
More than a shame really, why would you want to hide from your users and their potentially useful suggestions and bug reports?

One advantage of upgrading is that there's no guarantee RE versions bundled with Toast will get future updates, including certain bug fixes made in the full version. For example, 4.2.3 RE is the last version Roxio updated with Toast 8.x even though 4.4.1 is the last full version released. I've never made enough Mac-only data disc archives to justify upgrading to DCM full, nor from Toast 8 because 8.0.5 works well enough for my purposes on Leopard and Roxio's "upgrade" policy/pricing is extortionate.
