WhereIsIt is an application written for 32-bit Windows operating systems, designed to help you maintain and organize a catalog of your computer media collection, including CD-ROMs, audio CDs, diskettes, removable drives, hard drives, network drives, DVDs, or any other media that Windows can access as a drive.The most basic goal for WhereIsIt is to provide access to the contents of any media you have from a cataloged database, even if the media itself is not available on the system - you can browse lists of files and folders, search by any criteria, use descriptions, thumbnails, categories, flags, etc.

WhereIsIt is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, Explorer-like user interface, combined with strong searching and reporting capabilities, multi-language support, automated description and thumbnails importing through extendable plugins from more than 70 different sources, and much more.

Version 3.94 - 19. September 2008

Added support for handling ISO image files as archives, for both listing their contents and extracting. Currently, image files in ISO 9660 data mode are supported, as well as Joliet extension, in either ISO, BIN, IMG, NRG, and MDF file format. Image files using UDF file system are not yet supported at this time.
Added a new ISO Image Files description plugin, providing descriptions for the above listed ISO image file formats themselves.
When in thumbnails view mode, thumbnails for known video files are drawn with film strips, clearly distinguishing video files from other images, like photos. Film strips for video files can be turned off in program’s settings.
Internal viewer now allows simple panning of images larger than available window. Just click on the image and drag it with mouse to move it around.
Cataloging compressed files within archives has been optimized, and will in some cases significantly reduce the amount of data being extracted from archives for plugins to process.
Replaced internal memory manager with a modern, assembler optimized version. Memory intensive operations like searching are faster up to 20%, and memory fragmentation is reduced.
Fixed importing descriptions for archive files cataloged as folders, showing their contents. Plugins can now be run on them as if they were normal files.
On rare occasions, trying to abort disk scanning in progress would result in a program lockup. Fixed.
Fixed some minor, Unicode related issues.
On Windows Vista, program now looks for and tolerates incorrectly placed license files that ended up in Virtual Store due to folder virtualization.
Several other miscellaneous improvements and fine tuning throughout the program.
