Share your pictures: For each folder or disk analyzed, Tri-CATALOG creates a "virtual volume" containing the list of files with folder hierarchy, as well as thumbnails for images. With Tri-CATALOG, you can easily share this data with other users and other Macs.
Protect your pictures: You can send "virtual volumes" to others. They can view your images but with limited resolution. You retain control of the original pictures.
Bring your whole photo library with you: The "virtual volumes" are very light compared to the original volume, but you can see all the images (reduced). On a small Mac, you can view all of your pictures.

I'm still using version 5 for simple cataloguing (any kind of data except for pictures...).
'Versatile' is not the adjective that suits best for this app! ;-)

I don't need cataloguing photos so, as this app has been oriented most specifically for that use since version 6, as I understand, it has become useless to me; but maybe for someone who needs cataloguing photos it's great... ;-)
I remember I've been trying CDFinder a long time ago and it wasn't bad, but — if I recall well — its database was a lot more huge than TriCat's so I stayed with the old version.
(for anyone interested, version 5 is still available on their site ;-)

Instread of just improving version 5 and making it Universal, Tri-Catalog 6 looks like a complete rewrite with a new interface as well. And it is horrible. Pressing 'command-F' brings up a new search window which defaults to just searching 1 of your indexed volumes (one that is selected by default). You have to uncheck that volume first to search all of your indexed volumes. Basically that's a custom search then and you have the opton to save this search, but you can't make it the default search behaviour (!).
Version 6 is not compatible with your old indexes. You need a seperate (free) application to convert it to the new format. Once converted hoewever you are not told where to put the new volumes. Turns out they should be somewhere in your Application Data folder. The importer shpuld be integrated in the main application and it should put the imported volumes in the right place automatically.
The main interface consists of 3 columns. In the interface there are two input boxes for search terms. None of the 2 however functions for searching for something in all volumes (a volume is an indexed DVD or CD). You can search for a volume name in those boxes only. That is utterly pointless since all your volumes are shown in the left column already. I want to search for contents on any disk matching my search terms. I don't want to search for the name of a CD or DVD!
Let me stop here because writing about this application is as frustrating as using it. This is a usability nightmare for a very high price considering the more modern and usable applications that have shown up is this category the last couple of years.
The application is very capable but taking advantage of the power it has is very difficult.
Please get yourself an interface designer!!!

The interface is a little clumsy, but it offer more options and significantly greater speed than Portfolio at half the price. What I find especially nice is that it places each cataloged disk in its own file, which reduces a lot of the problems associated with managing a single huge file, yet it allows you to search across multiple disks. This is somthing that none of the other applications offer. I have been using it to catalog one of the clip art sets with 500,000 images spread over 34CDROMs. It is working flawlessly and I will register the application.
If you are looking for a cataloging application, this is the only one worth a serious look.
