Now with its new name though, the UI has made quite some progress (not 100% there, but close), and I have finally taken the plunge and purchased the app.
Couple more bugs to work out, little polishing needed interface-wise, but it is definitely on the right track!

But it really is great, and with the new satellite window I can use it like i used iView/Expression Media - that's great, since EM has been sold *again* to another company and is much too expensive for what it does.
Keep it up!

Somehow my rating of its predecessor, CDFinder, was adjusted down by accident in a watch list & I can't seem to recover its previous state.

Oh, I get it. It's psychological. Old sales and marketing diehards XD
Well since I liked cdfinder will give this a try.

I testdrove several before buying this one. Have used disktracker in the past, but that has the drawback of not being visual.
Most people are not that organized (a good reason for a cataloger) & if you are a visually-driven person, you want that referent as well as a text database to find your data.
Norbert does nice work & is very responsive & seems always enthused about making it better. Ausgezeichnet.
Is great to track removables - archived photos & items visually.
It needs some more batch options & is slow in cataloging if you want decent-sized thumbnails & drill down through all the levels to tag your items for later retrieval.
To date, I haven't found another cataloger quite in the same class.

A great program I wouldn't be without.
After searching existing catalogs, the "Found Items" window appears, but there are blank areas in the space above the search results, with just a few vertical and horizontal dividers and a right-facing arrow.
If I click on an item in the Found list, then a couple of the blank spaces are populated with the Disk and Folder name, but the rest stay blank.
I've no idea what these areas are for! It looks unfinished.
In fact, the whole user interface layout, even after its overhaul looks quite un-Mac like and inconsistent with the OS and other apps.
Well, as you already use CDFinder, you already know that CDFinder uses the header section of the Found Items window to display information about the volume that the selected item belongs to. That hasn't change since CDFinder 4.7.
But of course, what does a savvy Mac user do if there are areas of unknown content? Yes, hover with the mouse over it. And after a short while, you get a nice yellow text explaining what would be seen there. Or, you could have a look at the comprehensive CDFinder Users Guide, as this also explains this quite well...
But I still don't see how that would be un-Mac like?
But you are right, CDFinder should select the first Found Item after finishing a Find operation, causing the scary blank areas to be filled with important information...
