Technology
The greatest about Virtual CAT's technology is the fastest search on the market. While other catalogers take minutes to search hundreds of thousands of files, Virtual CAT take only seconds (fractions of seconds in most cases), thanks to an advanced search engine and a file structure optimized for fast search. The program does not only catalog the files but is capable of extracting file content to catalog as well like compresed files (Zips,Rars, etc), DVD Images (ISO) , MP3 Tags (Artist, Album,etc..) and text previews of NFO and TXT.
Plug-in Oriented Arquitecture
The content extraction engine was designed using a plug-in oriented arquitecture. With this technology, it is very easy to add new file formats. The only thing needed is writing a single DLL to process the file and return the content. Thanks to this arquitecture, not only Manfrasoft can make plug-ins, but any developer with programming skills can write plug-ins for Virtual CAT.
