CDFinder Sample Use - Advertising Agency


A large number of well-known advertising agencies already use CDFinder in their daily business to control their portfolio of digital data.

They usually finish a project for a specific customer, and then burn the whole project data on two DVD-ROMs. One of them goes into a safe storage, while the other is accessible in a specific archive location or office. Or, external hard disk are used to store the data, like the Seagate FreeAgent Go, or the WD Passport Drives.

That DVD or hard disk is then catalogued with CDFinder. As a copy of CDFinder (or CDWinder for Windows) is installed on every computer in the agency network, and the catalog database is stored on the central file server for access by everyone (read more about how to configure that), every single user can quickly search the entire database for certain project files.

CDFinder can even print a nice disk cover or DVD jewel case booklet for you, containing important data to help you find the disk in a shelf.

Since CDFinder understands a host of meta data that is catalogued for every single file and folder, searching a specific item can be done very efficiently, such as by a date, or the size of a folder, or of course by name. When it comes to photo files, CDFinder even stores a thumbnail and meta data such as the color depth of a photo, or the size (and a lot more, such as EXIF and IPTC data).
