InfoLayout is on http://www.bitsdujour.com/ today. Seems pretty PIMmish to me, except that your info, etc. stays in the original files. Here’s what they say:

InfoLayout is able to automatically extract information from documents, eBooks, audio and video files. It can generate image thumbnails and video previews, retrieve descriptions, create document snippets, and obtain relevant information from zipped archives.

Unlike other disk catalogers, InfoLayout actually indexes your document content. No matter where your documents are located (even if they’re in an archive), InfoLayout lets you perform advanced searches using wildcards, phrase searches, and fuzzy searches!
Here’s What InfoLayout Can Do For You:

* Store file information from multiple sources in a single place.
* Create comprehensive catalog reports.
* Create tree structures of any complexity.
* Copy multiple files from multiple disks.
* Store web links within catalogs.

InfoLayout is able to catalog any file. However, it automatically extracts additional information from all these file types: 7z, arj, bz2, cab, cpio, deb, gz, lzh, rar, rpm, tar, z, zip, bmp, cut, dds, g3, gif, hdr, ico, iff, lbm, jng, jpg, jif, jpe, koa, mng, mp3, CD-Audio, avi, wmv, mpeg,plain-text files, doc, html, ppt, rtf, vsd, wri, and xls.
Never Miss a Deal!
