Cataloger

Cataloger v1.2

Cataloger v2.0

Auto tab (New in 2.0)

Completely automated cataloging of selected folders and files.

Enable Zip File Expanding (New in 2.0)

• catalogs the contents of zip files that are flagged to be expanded, but without needing to actually extract the contents
• to flag a zip file for expanding, select it (in Local or Global Files), click its change button, tag (check) it for expanding
• once a zip file's contents have been cataloged, that zip file won't be cataloged again unless it has been modified (i.e. files have been added to it).  This improves cataloging speed and efficiency by eliminating unnecessary repetitive zip file expanding

Folders

• folders can be Included or Excluded
• a folder in the Cataloger implies all its subfolders, too
• an excluded folder overrides a higher level included folder, such as Exclude C:\RECYCLER overrides Include C:\, and therefore files in C:\RECYCLER and its subfolders DO NOT get cataloged
• an included folder overrides a higher level excluded folder, such as Include C:\Program Files\ABC overrides Exclude C:\Program Files, and therefore files in C:\Program Files\ABC DO get cataloged

Local Files

• these are files in the selected (highlighted) folder only
• therefore, if you only want to catalog exe's from certain folders, and not from the entire C: drive, for instance, you would set them up as Local Files in those certain folders

Global Files

• these are files in any folder
• a global file can be overridden by an excluded local file
• for instance, if *.pdf is set up as a global file, but you don't want to catalog *.pdf in the Program Files folder tree, you could insert the Program Files folder and then insert *.pdf as an excluded local file

[2) Catalog] Button

• catalog newly found files since the previous cataloging was run

Undo (a Batch of Cataloged Files)

• each time the Cataloger is run, any new files found are assigned a new batch number.  This lets them be easily identified on the Library Master screen
• also, if you accidentally had a wrong folder, local file and/or global file in the Cataloger which resulted in unwanted files being cataloged, then instead of deleting the unwanted files manually you could simply Undo the Batch

Show cataloging finished (New in 2.0)

• displays a message when cataloging finishes
• turning this off eliminates having to clicking [OK] to close the message

More detail (slower) (New in 2.0)

• displays additional folder and file information during cataloging
• this slows down cataloging significantly
• this may be useful for analyzing cataloging activities

Show at startup

• controls whether the cataloger screen displays when dlRoundup is started

Drag-n-Drop (semi-auto) tab (New in 2.0)

Semi-auto drag-n-drop cataloging, for hand-picked files and folders.

• open Windows Explorer
• drag files to be cataloged and drop them on the Drag-n-Drop tab
• once dropped, you will be prompted to drag-n-drop more files, or to continue
• follow the prompts accordingly and the files will be cataloged

URL tab (New in 2.0)

Catalog URLs.

• catalog web pages, for instance, to save a downloaded and cataloged product's sales page for future reference, as follows:
• • copy-n-paste, or type, a URL into the blank field
  • click the button and follow the prompts to catalog the URL(s)
• the URL can be launched from dlRoundup, just like any other item

Move tab

Move cataloged files from their current Windows folder to a different one, while keeping dlRoundup in sync with the moved files.

• open Windows Explorer
• drag files to be moved and drop them on the Move tabo
• nce dropped, you will be prompted to drag and drop more files, or to continue
• follow the prompts accordingly and the files will be moved and their locations will be updated in dlRoundup
