Hey Linux community,
I'm struggling with a file management issue and hoping you can help. I have a large media collection spread across multiple external hard drives. Often, when I'm looking for a specific file, I can't remember which drive it's on.
I'm looking for a file indexing and search tool that meets the following requirements:
- Ability to scan multiple locations
- Option to exclude specific folders or subfolders from both scan and search
- File indexing for quicker searches
- Capability to search indexed files even when the original drive is disconnected
- Real-time updates as files change
Any recommendations for tools that meet most or all of these criteria? It would be a huge help in organizing and finding my media files.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Yes, they are all media but they are not specific to a single type of media. Today I may want to find a book and tomorrow a song with the same program. So the files can be literature, audio, movies, series, etc.
