File name database?

[Kermode]

Anybody know of a program which will scan drives and build a database of the file names?

So you can later browse the names (not the content).

And it should be automatic, not by entering data manually.

Give Cathy a try.

I have databases for each partition on my local drive and also some usb drives.

You can search all your databases in an instant or choose 'Search selected' to search a single database.

You can also navigate by directory tree.

It takes a little bit of trickery to make it portable but well worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll look into them


Btw, I forgot to add it should be able to search index of something which is not online - not sure if that disqualifies any of this, but I guess I'll find out

Hey, I don't remember the whole collection - I'm not an android

But I'm checking it out now - looks good so far

I also like I can change the font size of the interface, that's definitely +20 points right there.
Though it just tried to go online, which has me puzzled...

Ok, IndexYourFiles could be cute, however since I want it to index USB drives, it doesn't seem to work when there can be many different drives on "E:"

Or is there a work around for that?

You can index the devices one after another...just give them different names.

Can't figure out how to get it to work. It seems to index based on drive letter not volume name.

I read your comment on Cathy and the answer is yes.

However, if the drive letter changes; e.g. (E:) is being used and your assigned (F:), the database cannot be refreshed.



I believe Cathy indexes by serial number.
