GamCat

[minthaka]

I've started a project on Sourceforge.net called gamcat. It is written in Gambas. This is a CD/DVD and folder cataloging program, using sqlite as back-end. The idea came to me from the Gwhere project, which seems to be abandoned for a long period. I intend to develop a full replacement for it, with some advanced features I always needed in Gwhere. At present moment it is available in RPM packages and source. Features:
- CD/DVD/ and folder scanning into a database
- Search through the DB for a certain string, extension or exact match.
- Export option for the search's result.
- Filtering the results.

Can get it at:
SourceForge.net: GamCat: Files
I need testers, some suggestions. It is still not finished. I intend to add possibilities to scan through different kinds of archives (.zip,.rar. tar...), but it is not implemented yet. I've left out some options were present in Gwhere, for I didn't need them. I hope you'll enjoy the program.

I've released the first stable version of GamCat.
Features:
- Scanning mounted CD/DVD/USB drives.
- Scanning mounted partitions and mounted folders
- Scanning through .zip, .tar, .arj, .rar, and .ace archives
- Viewing the content of archives
- Searching by patterns, by volumes,... and ordering the hits by name, size and access time.
- Exporting the search result as list of filenames, in formatted text format or as CSV.
- Archiving the database.

Requires:
gambas2-runtime and its dependencies for basic tasks.
sqlite3 as backend, and gambas-sqlite connector package.
If you want to use scanning through archives:
-unrar 3.71
-tar 1.19
-unace 2.5
-unarj 2.65
(These are the versions I've used for the development. Hopefully other versions would work, if the output format didn't change.)
I've uploaded some screenshots and the new packages in source and RPM version. Soon the .DEB format will also be available.

Well, after heavy coding my application seems to be stable. I've ported it to Ubuntu too. I need testers.
