BONBONS  The best.

I use it since I use Macs, never had problems.  
(Version 5.1.1a)

WALT9500  For me, CDFinder is simply the best! I have begun to use geotagging to keep my huge photo collection organized with GPS coordinates, and what a great pleasure it was to find out that CDFinder supports GPS data to a great extend!

The coolest features of them all is the geo search, where you just select one photo, and let CDFinder find all photos taken near that location. That is simply awesome, and helps me to find my motives very quickly.

Thank you for making such a great product!!

"I've never been thrilled with this new dual paned interface" - We

are sorry to hear that, as this two pane interface was one of the

most requested new features of CDFinder 5, and that is something that

all similar applications now also have... But don't worry, just turn

it off by moving the divider all the way to the right, it will stick

there and stay there, so you are back to the old interface quickly.

"Also, my monitor is 24", 1920x1200 and when i set the type larger,

the rows stay the same, cutting off the descenders or even the bottom

portions of the characters" - You very likely want to increase the

size of the icons, too, as that will increase the height of every

column, accommodating any font size you need... Use the handy size

slider for any view to accomplish that quickly.

"The UI is kinda screwy" and "In any case, the UI needs work" - Uh,

these are not very helpful hints ;-) What exactly don't you like?

"Horribly slow disc scanning" - Actually, CDFinder is as fast as any

other similar tool, as we have established a couple of times here

already, but you really MUST make sure to have comparable settings,

for example the creation of FileCheck values for every file of course

take a long time, as does the reading of Finder comments, or file

versions, or photo metadata, or photo thumbnails, or audio metadata.

That is documented in detail in the CDFinder Users Guide, in chapter

2.4.

CORPSECORPS  After using it more extensively to attempt to bring organization to my chaotic disc collection, i'm finding various aspects of the software i didn't mention quite irritating.

There just doesn't seem to be an overall consistent scheme for organization here. The right pane is redundant and the UI kinda screwy.

I could do without the features than so horribly slow disc scanning and do WITH a more coherent, intuitive method of organization.

A bit pricey, too, especially considering the rest.

CORPSECORPS  I've never been thrilled with this new dual paned interface i'm getting more crashes with 5.1.1

Also, my monitor is 24", 1920x1200 and when i set the type larger, the rows stay the same, cutting off the descenders or even the bottom portions of the characters. 8^/

CAPTVIJAY  Is it possible to have spotlight style GUI in menubar which will help me search specific thing in catalog with no need to first launch program and then searching.  
(Version 5.1.1)

NORBERT M. DOERNER  ->GLIOMA

Please turn off the cataloging of photo previews, photo metadata, and audio metadata when comparing CDFinder to DiskCatalogMaker. Both applications have roughly the same speed when used with similar settings, but CDFinder can read so much more additional data than DiskCatalogMaker, so make sure you use the proper settings for a real fair comparison

Also, make sure you really use CDFinder 5.1, as that has yet again improved speed when cataloging said metadata.

Then compare again and let us know fo the results!

Thank you very much!

GLIOMA  I've used CDFinder for a couple of years and have always liked it. But I started using DiskCatalogMaker for one simple reason. CDFinder is too slow. My catalog has about 150,000 items. To update the catalog, CDFinder requires 5-10 minutes. DiskCatalogMaker rescans and updates the catalog within 15 seconds. If CDFinder could improve its algorithm for scanning and updating volumes, I would return to it.  
(Version 5.1)

WALT9500  I also use CDFinder for many years now, and I really don't agree to what DDOGGEREL writes.

The interface of CDFinder 5 is much sleeker and nicer than ever before, and you can customize the new display much better than before (you can make the lists even much smaller now).

Oh, and you use Command-Up to navigate one level up, as I already could in all previous versions... ;-)

And if you drag the divider in the main window all the way to the right, the right list will go away and stay away.

But quite frankly, I love the fact that CDFinder shows me the content of the selected catalog in the main window already.

With the new update to CDFinder 5.1, this becomes even more incredible, and if you ever have the need to finally get to organize your data, CDFinder is the one tool for the job.

The new GPS search in CDFinder is very cool, a good reason to finally get a decent GPS device to track where I take my photos...
