§sudo tree -aU§ is one way to see what you have where, in a tree form with easy-to-understand graphics. It’ll print even hidden files, with everything sorted in the order they are in the folder.

§gdmap§ is similar to Spacesniffer, but its graphics are totally shit, where Spacesniffer is clear. It’s for Window$, but works perfectly under Wine.

Yeah, I’ve used windows most of my life but just began using Linux last year after my brother showed me how to install it and dual boot it, and all I use now is LibreOffice. I’ve been slowly learning more about using Linux, I’ve got Xubuntu on one laptop and Ubuntu on another, and I’m probably going to try out a different distro on the laptop that I’m on now just for the experience.

It is more of a way of getting them organized/staying organized. I somewhat understated the amount of data, I have maybe about 8-10 different external hard drives of sizes ranging from 2-5 terabytes of different stuff I’ve accumulated over the last several years. I have a rough picture in my mind of a couple ways to organize things, but it would be much easier for me to do if I had all the file names and directories accessible. I’ve found some decent deals on 5 tb hard drives, and I plan on getting a few more this summer and backing up everything from my original drives onto them but in a completely organized fashion. I wish I had the expertise to build an app that would allow me to make a virtual hierarchy of exactly how I’d like multiple files from different drives all copied onto a single empty drive, I’m pretty sure it is going to be a long slog just waiting for the files to copy over not even counting the time it will take to get it organized decently.

Yes, you can and it is very much possible in any Linux distro. But I am wondering why you want to do that? Are you trying to build an application?

It really seems you’re a noob in NIX world, cuz you wouldn’t ask that if you knew better.

The article writer is using some Linux distro with GNOME (my money is on Ubuntu), and officially GNOME doesn’t run on Unix, but it shouldn’t be impossible. Anyway, the answer is: absolutely.

I’ve got an external hard drive with a ton of digital comics and pdfs, and I would like to create a database with all the different file names as well as directories that they are in. I’m not sure if it would be a 1-1 translation, or if I would have to do it a different way, and don’t want to mess anything up.

Thanks. How about now?
