Topic: NMT export a list HD contents with Folder sizes

[toys4geeks]

If you have  HD contents across many disks, chances are, you have duplicates, eating up valuable space. Worse, we maintain movies in folders, so sorting through them manually can be pretty daunting task. To make a collection list for easy reference of what you have, you'd want to maintain  your collection list and save in Excel. I switched to a freeware tool  to show folder sizes: http://www.explorerxp.com, was using DirsiZe but it expires after X days after trial. Try it, you'll like it if you have tons of HD titles in folders you need to tame Features: Export File/Folder info to text file via clipboard (folder size (in GB) , so move all your movies under a folder category if you must) Displays folder/file size in GB or MB Multirename (if you are tired of remove "." and "_" in your filenames, this works great) Multirename folder/files with merge feature (if after rename it sees the folders are identical, you can merge and option to keep both files --- great for deduplicating files and freeing up space -- which later if they are the same, you can delete confidently the other file) multiwindow support --- open several folders in one place, stack file windows vertically, and start deleting your duplicates. and because it shows the folder size, you can delete confidently the wrong folder (i.e. a folder of HD title but no actual mkv file, you can tell by the size) I configured mine with my  2 x dual docking station units, so i can see accross 4 x 2TB and move/sort my HD contents easily.  The external docking exposes  80% of disk surface to  airflow while in operation, keeping it cooler than in an enclosure or NAS. Best works for NMT since can take an NMT disk, plug in dock, and change disk without special tools. you cant do that with NAS since you'd need to format disk in a NAS, and thus you cant swap between NAS to NMT.  -- Not so with DOCKING station and NMT
