Portable, Stand-Alone Cataloging Application

[ken a.]

I am looking for software that can be installed onto a thumb drive, or burned

onto a CD, along with thumbnail images that can then be presented to (internal)

clients. What I want is to be able to present a thumbnail catalog of an image

data bank, but I would like the catalog to have the ability to be searched by

catagories or tags by the client. I am familiar with the category structure

used in iMatch, and would love to have something similar, but this is not a

requirement. Most of the programs are either portable, but do not offer this

cataloging feature, or they offer the feature, but are not portable. Any

suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have searched the web, but have

had little success in finding possible candidates. Thanks!

By "portable," do you mean able to be easily moved (e.g., on a thumb drive), or available for multiple platforms (Windows, OS X, Linux, etc.)?

 

iView MedaPro has a free viewer that you can distribute, and it works on Windows and OS X. I don't know whether it will run off a thumb drive on Windows. For OS X, I'm guessing it will.

Your former definition, rather than the latter, is what I had in mind. I will check on the iView suggestion though.

While iView does have a free viewer, it requires that Quicktime be installed on the machine that is being used to view the images. Is there anything similar that contains all of the software on the CD or portable drive?
