DiskCat allows you to quickly create a browsable and searchable catalog consisting of the contents of any directory. This includes optical, physical or flash drive media types.

Easily create catalogs of CD or DVD collections. DiskCat indexes all found items in a given path, creates dummy (zero byte) files of each of the items and archives them in exactly the same folder and path structure as the original folder... all into one single archive. It's like creating a snapshot of the contents of a directory.

The format of the created catalog archives are in ZIP (Compressed folder) format. These archives can be opened, extracted and browsed by using DiskCat or another compatible or associated program. Because of DiskCat's method of creating browsable catalogs of disk contents, these ZIP files are tiny and extraction processes are extremely fast.
