Prism 2.0.0

Prism 2.0.0 is the new Prism, rewritten from scratch: a catalog of all your disks for Windows,
even the disconnected ones.

What's new

• A catalog of every disk — internal, external, USB sticks and network shares. Disconnected
  disks stay in the catalog with the data of their last indexing, and Prism recognizes a disk
  even when its drive letter changes. Give each disk a name, a colour and the place where it is
  kept.
• Fast indexing — NTFS disks are read through the Master File Table and kept up to date
  from the change journal.
• Search everywhere — Ctrl+Space from anywhere, results from all disks as you type, with
  filters (report size:>1MB ext:pdf).
• Space — a map of what takes space on a disk or folder, the largest files and statistics
  by file type, also for disconnected disks.
• Duplicates and similar files — identical files across all disks, found by content, and
  photos and videos that look the same even if resized or re-encoded.
• Backup — check that a disk or folder has a copy somewhere else, compare two disks, copy
  what is missing (every copy is verified).
• Cleanup and disk health (SMART) with a notice when a disk gets worse.
• Explorer menu — Analyze with Prism and Find duplicates here.
• A new interface, organized around your disks — the partitions of one disk and the folders of
  one NAS are shown together — in English and Italian, light and dark.
• Automatic updates — new versions download in the background and install when you choose
  Install and restart; every package is signed and checked before it is installed.

Nothing is deleted without your confirmation; deleted files go to the Recycle Bin, and every
file is checked again right before it is removed.

Install

Requirements: Windows 11, 64-bit. Download Prism_2.0.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it.
Windows asks for administrator permission: Prism needs it to read the Master File Table and the
change journal of NTFS disks.

The installer is not signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC":
choose More info › Run anyway.

Coming from Prism 1.0

Prism 2.0 is a separate app with its own catalog: it does not read or change the data of
Prism 1.0.x, and the disks are indexed again. Prism 1.0.x does not update itself to 2.0:
download the installer below.

In italiano

Prism 2.0.0 è il nuovo Prism, riscritto da zero: il catalogo di tutti i tuoi dischi, anche
quelli scollegati. Ricerca istantanea su tutti i dischi (Ctrl+Spazio), mappa dello spazio,
duplicati e file simili, verifica dei backup, pulizia, salute dei dischi e menu di Esplora
risorse, con una nuova interfaccia in italiano e inglese. Le versioni successive arrivano da
sole: Prism le scarica in sottofondo e le installa quando scegli Installa e riavvia.

Installazione: scarica Prism_2.0.0_x64-setup.exe ed eseguilo (Windows 11 a 64 bit; Windows
chiede i permessi di amministratore). L'installer non è ancora firmato: se compare "Windows ha
protetto il PC", scegli Ulteriori informazioni › Esegui comunque. Prism 2.0 ha un catalogo
nuovo e non tocca i dati di Prism 1.0.x: i dischi vanno indicizzati di nuovo.
