# FoolCat

With OffShoot's FoolCat integration, you can queue report creations without keeping sources occupied or slowing them down during offloads.

A list of supported camera formats in FoolCat is available here:

## Requirements

## How to use

Once FoolCat is installed on your computer, enable the FoolCat integration in `Settings`.

Next, specify the Destination(s) from which to create your reports.

#### Create reports for Transfers that match Destination:

If you don't specify a Destination, reports will be created for `All Destinations` . You can also tell OffShoot which specific Destination(s) should be used. You can specify:

* A volume name.
* A folder path. Use a wildcard (\*) for more flexibility.

{% hint style="info" %}
Multiple Destinations must be separated by a semicolon.
{% endhint %}

Use the **Location** dropdown to tell FoolCat where to save the report.

* **On Destination**: a `Reports` folder will be created in the Destination that is set for that transfer.
* **Browse:** allows you to set a custom location.

{% hint style="info" %}
Starting with version 20.1, FoolCat also saves a report locally. If you only want one report saved, set the location to be equal to the location set in FoolCat.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Finally, you can customize the report by setting a `Catalog name` and `Description` . These elements can be used: `{Source Name}`, `{Counter}`, `{YYYY}`, `{YY}`, `{MM}`, `{DD}`, `{hh}`, `{mm}`, `{ss}`.

Once you've configured the integration, transfer your media. When a transfer completes, FoolCat will open and create the report.
