Virtual Volumes View

VVV is an application that catalogs the content of removable volumes
like CD
and DVD disks for off-line searching. Folders and files can also be
arranged in a
single, virtual file system. Each folder of this virtual file system
can contain
files from many disks so you can arrange your data in a simple and
logical way.

VVV also stores metadata information from audio files: author, title,
album and
so on. Most audio formats are supported.

It is possible to
share the same catalog, stored in a network server, among Windows,
Linux and OSX
computers. The network server is simply a computer running a database
server
program. Click

News for the current version (1.5)

• Now in the File Information and Folder
  Information windows it is possible to copy to the clipboard the
  content of a row  by pressing CTRL-C or by right-clicking with the
  mouse.
• Removed the New root folder context menu from the
  left pane in virtual mode. It is rarely used and it is still available
  from the main menu.
• Now the program remembers a search setting between All
  physical volumes and Selected physical folder.
  It does not remember the Selected virtual folder
  setting because at startup there is no selected virtual folder.
• Fixed a bug: the program crashed if the user cataloged a volume
  using an existing name.

Translation

• Looking
  for more translators. Translators are welcome for other languages:
  it is a matter of translating a number of sentences using a helper
  program. You can contact me if you are interested: contact info at the
  bottom of this page.
• Some translators are not available any more or they do not have free
  time, so I also need help for completing the translations to the following
  languages: Czech, German, Spanish, French, Croatian, Japanese, Polish,
  Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian. For these languages only a
  few sentences need to be translated, so this would take much less time than
  a full translation.

Features

VVV is available for Windows, Linux and for OS X
(Intel
only). You can exchange catalogs between
Windows, Linux and OS X computers, and you can connect Windows, Linux
and OS X computers to
the same (Windows,  Linux or OS X) server.

VVV is very fast, even with very large catalogs. Data are stored in
a
relational database, designed to handle millions of rows, so retrieving
your
information will always be a quick task.

VVV can show the content of your disks in three different views:

• The first is the physical view, click
  here
  for a Windows screenshot. This view shows the content of each disk,
  you can
  navigate in the folders structure and see the files contained in each
  folder.
• The second is the virtual view, click
  here
  for a Linux screenshot. In this view everything is organized as a
  single
  virtual file system. You can create folders and you can assign physical
  volumes
  or folders to each virtual folder. You can assign the same file to more
  than one
  virtual folder, and each virtual folder can contain files that are
  stored in
  different disks. The virtual view is a powerful tool that will let you
  organize
  your data in a logical way: it will save you a lot of searches.
• The third is the search view, click
  here for a Windows screenshot. In this view you can search the
  catalog looking for files that meet your specification.

VVV does not change your operating system in any way: everything is
contained
in the installation folder so you can be sure that it will not cause
problems to
other applications or to the operating system itself.
