    Where Is It?

  • Latest Changes

    - Optimized speed in thumbnails importing and processing for several types of graphics files. Direct assembly code is used in some critical areas

    - Fine-tuned the order of importing files and folders when scanning the media. On some newer non-removable media and related hardware, this can result in performance increase due to more efficient data caching

    - Improved searching performance on multi-core CPUs

    - Updated IMDB plugin for the latest changes on their web site, most notably importing rating information. By now, the same information from IMDB can come to the plugin in several different forms, depending on whether or not you are logged-in on IMDB site,

    - Other miscellaneous minor adjustments and improvements

    It does what it says and is worth the penny.

    This is a nice program. It's elegant, and well done in every way. However, I just don't get the relevance or usefulness of Where Is It. Programs like Everything are free, ligntining fast, and do all the file finding and wrangling I could possibly want.

    I like the fact that it supports unicode encodings on all Unicode-capable Windows operating systems.

    I have tested this software and it was much faster and has more options then advanced disk catalog for example. Where is it works fine for me under windows 7 x64 as well.
    BUT! after intensive testing I decided to buy the software and support the author. The orderingprocess was a mess! Robert Galle (the coder of where is it) seems to be a sick paranoid. Let me explain. If you order a (cheaper) online license to have to use a emailadress like this "name@your-company.xxx". Freemailservices are not accepted! After my first try to order a online license for 39$ I got "blacklisted" because "my user details are invalid". Wow! You (and I did so too) have to input all your private data _even_ a phonenumber (but he himself does not offer one on his website / domaindetails) is required! (just to remember, here we talk about a software that is (mostly?) for private users and 40$ cheap!). Anyway. First try failed. Then second try. I ordered a CD-ROM (+6$) because if you choose this option you can use freemailadress (that I use for example for paypal too). Guess what happend...? YES! Again the order was rejected because of blacklisted userdata. (Tried to contact the author via mail, no answer! (maybe because he has blacklisted all freemailproviders!?)).
    Mister Robert Galle, your software is a good one but the "service" you offer for ordering is maximum user unfriendly, paranoid and sick! So what to do now? Searching the web for a manipulated / pirated version? Maybe the author want this! GOOD SOFTWARE, BULLs*** SERVICE!

    Everything else is a toy compared to Where-Is-It. Its feature-set puts it way beyond simply cataloging your cds and dvds. I would be lost without it.
