What is Disk Search FOR LINUX?


DiskSearch


DiskSearch is a handy tool for searching files on all your removable media disks like CDs, ZIP disks, or backup tapes. For example, you can easily find your favorite songs on your MP3 CDs or locate important documents on your backup DVDs.



Advanced Searching Features


If you're looking for something specific, DiskSearch has got you covered with its regular expression search mode. It works by using a simple database file that you need to fill out just once by adding all your disks to it.



What's New in DiskSearch?


Since version 0.9.0, the project changed its name from 'CDSearch' to 'DiskSearch' because now it supports many types of removable media! In version 1.0.0, DiskSearch also began supporting internationalization with English (default) and German languages included. If you're fluent in other languages and want to help out, feel free to create and send us other translations!



Requirements for Installation


Requirements:



  • Python >= 2.3

  • GTK+ >= 2.4.0

  • PyGTK >= 2.4.0



Installing DiskSearch


To install DiskSearch, just extract the archive to a temporary directory and run 'make install' as root. This will put DiskSearch in '/usr/local'. If you ever want to uninstall it, simply run 'make uninstall'. After installation, starting DiskSearch is as easy as typing the 'disksearch' command.



Troubleshooting Tips


The name of the Python interpreter might be different on some systems. If you have trouble starting up DiskSearch, you may need to adjust the Python reference in the 'disksearch' file.



The Latest Updates Include:



  • The date when disks were added is now stored and shown in the main list.

  • The file size is recorded for all files on newly added disks—this helps if you're comparing local files with those on the disk!

  • The "Edit disk" dialog now displays disk content in a tree view format with file sizes shown in a separate column.

  • The "Search" dialog shows results neatly organized in a tree view too, including file sizes.

  • This release includes updates for i18n and Readme (database format).
