| AutoCat Tips |
| Place AutoCat close to the Trash on the desktop. When you are done with a disk, just drag onto the AutoCat icon: it will be cataloged (if you made changes) and ejected. |
Press the Option key while draging a disk onto AutoCat. This will force the disk to be cataloged.
If you don't press Option, the disk is cataloged only if it has been modified since it was last cataloged - but sometimes the Finder doesn't update the modification date of a disk, and AutoCat might forget to catalog this disk.

|
| AutoCat & AppleScript |
| You can use AppleScript to catalog your disks. The script below will catalog the disk called 'myDisk'.
tell application "AutoCat"
activate
open {alias "myDisk:"}
quit
end tell
