The following lines go certainly to answer to some of your doubts. If some of them continue, please ask.

Use "Disktree" to catalogue files present in your disks, this is done in transparent mode. Simple navigate your disk. Files are catalogued automatically and added to database.To Catalogue full disk simple go to root and check subfolders checkbox.

Use "DBDiskTree" or "DBDisk" to navigate in previous catalogued disks. Disk may be or not present in drive.

Use "DBSearch" to do a word search in all the fields of catalogued files. To this search tool work correctly do an optimize operation in "Database>maintenance" tool after adding new information to the database.

To use batch tools in more than one folder simple select your folder root and check subfolders checkbox in "DiskTree" or "DBDisktree".

Use "DBDisk" to select all the catalogued files for one disk.

If you want to export grid fields from more than one disk or search operation use "CollectorGrid" to cumulate files from more than one "ScanGrid". CollectorGrid is just a working grid and do not interfere with database operations.

Regards and sorry my horrible English :-(
