Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I SO wish the "categorizing feature" for content that has already been burned to CD would be revived. (Go to Window>Show categories to see what I am referring to.) This critical feature was removed in Version 7....the ability to automatically build categories from content that has been burned to CD, other removable media, etc. I usually burn our dated archived folders to CD, of our newspaper, and then catalogue them. (The option to automatically add categories was accessed in the advanced cataloguing options, prior to version 7.) Portfolio still works really well for us, but removing this one feature has almost crippled our archiving process as it has made things a lot more difficult for us....I had to resort to building the categories MANUALLY now and that takes SO MUCH EXTRA TIME:( Other than that, it is really a great product. I really really wish this feature could be brought back. We were just about to consider buying the product for the rest of the company but the removal of this feature has put everything on hold now, including the upgrade to version 8.
