This easy-to-use and fast application for the Apple Macintosh creates catalog files of CD-ROMs, hard disks, floppies, ZIPs and almost everything that spins. Using the powerful search functions you can easily locate and display files or folders. CDFinder displays every known catalog in its main window. You can sort the content by name, size, or label. By changing the name of a catalog, you can influence the sort order for a given catalog (put a space in front of the name to let it appear right on top, if you sort by name). Using drag&drop (if installed) or the "Create Catalog…" menu item, you can create a new catalog of a volume. To create lots of catalogs at once, try using "Batch Create…", which will eject any volume afterwards. To display the contents of a catalog, simply double click it or select it and press "return". To obtain more information about any catalog or any object inside a catalog, simply use "Information". But what is a bunch of catalog files without the ability to search them? Nothing! That's why you should take a very close look at the "Find…" window. It will allow you to enter the type and content of information you look for, and also narrow the range by including only catalogs with a selected label to the search. You can even search just the already found objects! CDFinder is absolutely optimized for the PowerPC processor, but runs very fast on the "older" (colour) Macs as well from System 7.0 onwards. Another positive aspect is the simple fact that you can move the program into the background during time consuming processes to work with other things. However, CDFinder must handle a really big amount of data - just go and check the size of your catalog folder! A very simple way to improve the performance is to increase the memory partition of CDFinder. Please note that increasing the file system cache using the control panel "Memory" will have no valuable effect at all, on the contrary. CDFinder is using its own sophisticated caching mechanism that simply knows more about the state and importance of the data than the file system. It's shareware so download it now!
