* CDFinder now catalogs Elgato EyeTV recordings (.eyetv). CDFinder will show the thumbnail for the recording, and also important metadata as well, such as the EPG description, director, actors, and much more. All that is cataloged, displayed, and can of course be searched as well
* The GeoFinder inside CDFinder now uses the street-level OpenStreetMap for the GPS search (requires 10.5 or newer)! That is much nicer than the built-in map, but since it requires Internet access, the old map is still available. Many thanks to Dirk Stichling!
* New CoverPrint templates: one for US-Letter format Avery 5692 labels, and one more for the HP Photosmart Direct Print. Thanks a lot to Deneen Winchester-Ristow and David Robinson for their incredible help on this!
* Double clicking a found item coming from iPhoto will now show this item in iPhoto. There is also a contextual menu command for this, too. You can get iPhoto results by using the GeoFinder, and asking it to search the iPhoto 8 database, too

- CDFinder now creates thumbnails for movie files! This includes a large number of file formats, such as avi, mov, mp4, m4v, mpg, flv, mkv, and more. It requires QuickTime, and possible plugins. CDFinder not simply uses the first frame of a movie, but goes into the duration of the movie and grabs a thumbnail at about 20% of the duration of the movie
- The extended GeoFinder now has a clearer user interface, and can search your iPhoto 8 database! So without importing any data from iPhoto to CDFinder, you can find all your photos taken at a certain place!
- The Locr-Upload has been greatly extended: It now also works for photos without geotags, and you can upload multiple photos in parallel with a dramatic speed increase. Also, you can get a list of your albums on the Locr server, and place the uploaded photos in one of them or create a new one
- CDFinder can now also catalog the GPS coordinates stored in sidecar XMP files or XMP records in photos (used by the GeoTate Jobo software for RAW files, and other tools)
- New RAR code to catalog the contents of archives larger than 4 GB in size
- KMZ Export has been improved with better KML content, and an option to include or exclude the metadata
- You can now exclude files from cataloging based on their name suffixes, or folders based on their name. This is done by a file named DatabaseSettings.xml in your CDFinder database folder. More details in the CDFinder Users Guide
- CDFinder now detects certain file types even if the files have neither a name suffix or the old filetype info. This includes PDF, EPS, JPG, TIFF, and PSD files. Of course, CDFinder will now also get you a thumbnail for these files as well
- CoverArt of AAC-Songs will now be cataloged again, supporting the yet again changed format introduced with iTunes 8
- CDFinder now catalogs custom icons for files
- The Podcast info text of MP3 and AAC files is now cataloged, and will be displayed, and can of course be searched as well
- Creation of all thumbnails is now much more robust, and even the numerous bugs in the Mac OS X cannot crash CDFinder any more
- The comment inside JPG photos is now cataloged (that is the unique JPG comment, not the IPTC comment, which CDFinder can already catalog since version 4.5)
- Contents of ".sparseimage", and ".iso" disk images are now cataloged, too (along with the DMG and other formats that CDFinder 5.5 already supported)
- Spotlight search results and iPhoto files located with GeoFinder in the Found Items window are now badged with the Spotlight or iPhoto logo
- Switching from icon to list mode, and changing the size of the icons displayed, now always keeps the selection visible
- CDFinder now uses QuickTime to create the preview of PSD files, because CoreGraphics has many bugs with multiple and transparent masks in Photoshop files, which QuickTime surprisingly deals just fine with
- Bugfix: RAW photos taken with the new Nikon Coolpix P6000 are now cataloged
- Bugfix: You can now again drag files from offline CDFinder catalogs onto the desktop, or any open Finder window. CDFinder will then ask you to insert the volume, and then copy over the files to their destination
- Bugfix: A problem detecting volume duplicates if their names contained certain special characters, has been fixed
- Bugfix: Reading JPEG-GPS data written by the Dawntech di.Gps Mini II will now work fine. They use a slight variation of the data, and that had confused earlier CDFinder versions
- Bugfix: Fixed several AppleScript problems, including the selection of catalogs that was always only based on the selection of the left catalog list, but never on the really active view in the main window
- Bugfix: For some audio files, the genre is now correctly cataloged again

* Support for movie files
* Much faster cataloging
* GeoFinder to search for photos near a place, and KMZ Export
* XMP Support for Integration with Adobe Bridge, Photoshop, and all other Adobe products
* Many more cool new features and fixes
