Organize and find files fast with GTKtalog
If you own a large number of CD or DVD media disks, you might have a hard time finding a specific file or folder on one of them -- unless you use GTKtalog. This utility scans every file and folder on your storage media and saves the captured information in a single-file searchable database named CDkatalog.
To install GTKtalog, you can either use your distribution's package repository or download it directly. If you decide to compile it from source, make sure you have Gtk+, Gnome-libs, and zlib libraries installed first. Compile and install GTKtalog with the usual configure, make, and make install commands.
To begin using GTKtalog, simply insert media and click on the program's Add CD button. The program will read all your files and folders from the media and save information about them in the database. Optionally, you can add scanned files and folders to a specific category (for example "work" or "personal") or edit their descriptions by right-clicking on the desired file or folder and choosing "Change file directory." This will open a category editor where you can add your category names and assign them to the files from a list. These options will help you search through your files, since the search mechanism includes fields for specific name or location, date and size, and description and category.
