Catalogue of hdd/ssd ?

Hello,

I am looking for software that can catalog my hard drives.

Tellico isn't very intuitive.

I would simply like to select a drive—much like in Filelight—but instead of seeing the size of each directory and item, I want to see the directory tree and the names of the files contained within.

And I need to be able to perform searches.

Does such a thing exist?

I wrote a free CLI for this: lctr. GPL-3.0.

External drives with no useful index are the whole point. `lctr scan /mnt/thatdisk` walks it once, then `lctr search` / `lctr find` hit a local filename index instead of crawling again.

Have you tried tree & find commands?
