Most users, nowadays, have a lot of files and folders on their computers. These files can be music, videos or images. Most modern hard disks have a very large size, so it's easy to store thousands of files. But having such a great amount of information, it's difficult to organize all the files and folders, for making them easy to access and to find them quickly. In this case, you would need a cataloging software which can scan all your files stored on the hard disk and can organize them automatically. There are a lot of programs on the market which can do this, but unfortunately, most of them cost a lot of money and are difficult to use.

Panoptique is a different kind of cataloging application. That's because it's not that expensive and can be used by anyone, having a simple interface. After installing the application, the user will be displayed a simple tabbed interface which resembles Windows Explorer. Clicking on one of the four tabs available in the interface will allow the user to view only certain types of files. For example, the music tab will display only the MP3 files contained by a folder, even if there are also text or image files present in the folder.

For this to be possible, the program must first scan the hard disk and index all the files. This process may take a while in case there is a lot of information available. At the end of the process, one will be able to easily access all his files. In case there are other file formats besides music, images or video stored on the hard disk, one can use the fourth tab, which displays complete information about each file, no matter its format. Thus, the user can quickly find a desired document, for example, without even using the Windows search tool.

Pros

It can automatically index and organize all the files stored on the hard disk according to their type. Besides that, it includes four tabs, for displaying different file formats. Furthermore, the user can add more sessions to the same interface.

Cons

The scanning process may take a while, especially if there is a lot of information stored on the hard disk. Panoptique can catalog and organize all your files, no matter their type, in the most efficient way possible, allowing you to quickly find a desired file.
