Cathy mentions (3)

  • Cathy alternative?
    I use Cathy (http://rva.mtg.sk/) to catalog partitioned 2T drives and have done for years. About a year ago I started getting errors, likely because I moved to single partition 4T drives or lost out after a Windows 10 upgrade. The program just couldn't parse the data anymore and would freeze or end abruptly. Source: 6 months ago
  • Any good recommendations for Linux software similar to VVV (VirtualVolumeView) which is cross-platform but apparently broken on Linux/MacOSX ?
    So apparently some people have done a python implementation of Robert Vasicek‘s popular cataloging tool „cathy“. Source: about 1 year ago
  • How do you keep track of it all?
    I've used Cathy for ages and it works extremely well for tracking (and searching) offline HDD contents. Source: over 2 years ago
