I have now accumulated many many CDs filled with Poser files - what program would you recommend to inventory them? I know there was a thread here back a long while ago. Would love to get some ideas from people who use them. Thanks in advance!

I've swapped between Microsoft Access and Excel for over 300 CD's, and have yet to find a way to make either of these programs work. Talk about overkill with backups. I would love to find a good program for tracking CD's and what CD's the files are on. I track DAZ and other downloads using both of these Microsoft programs and they're "adequate," but tracking the CD's themselves are a pain.

I tried opening each folder (you have got 'em split into folders, right?) in P3DO and then printing to Acrobat but it didn't work - just got one page's worth of stuff.

This one works great for me. I just feed in the disk, and the program automatically catalogs it. Later, when I need to find an item, I just type in what I'm looking for, it searches the catalog and gives me back every instance of that item in all my disks. And I've got well over a hundred CD's. jjsemp

I've used whereisit for a couple of years. Great program like jjsemp mentioned. It will catalog the zip files too!

Iomega's Findit gets the job done for me.

I have a 3gig directory at work with over 80,000 files in it that were recovered in a sector by sector search after a bad crash two years ago. The beauty of that system is you really have no hope of finding anything and therefore don't have to try.
