Virtual Volumes View Version 1.2
2012.03.16
Open Source Installer
A simple, yet incredibly effective program that catalogs the contents of drives. It doesn’t matter what you’re scanning, as long as it can be assigned a drive letter. Once a drive is scanned, the names on that drive are stored in a local database that you can search without having to mount that drive. You can browse each disc individually or search all the scanned discs by keywords and basic Boolean logic. Catalogs created with VVV can be used across multiple platforms. VVV doesn’t search the contents of files, just file names. The one exception to this rule is .mp3 metadata, which is useful if you’re hunting for files with auto-generated (or nondescriptive) filenames, that have been tagged with metadata.
