EZ Cat 5 is a disk cataloguer. Again. You can catalogue the contents of all your USB drives, DVDs, CDRs, hard drives, network drives, etc, and then browse and search through the contents of all the media without them having to be attached to your computer.
This version is written for the KDE desktop on Linux, using Qt 5.8+.
It is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3.
The latest release is version 5.0 and is available...
As a source tarball - build instructions are contained in the README.md.

As a deb file (64 bit) installable on at least Kubuntu 18.04 and 18.10:
https://www.loggytronic.com/dl/ezcat_5.0-1_amd64.deb
From an apt repository (64 bit only), works with Kubuntu 18.04 and 18.10, Debian Buster:
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/loggytronic.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.loggytronic.com bionic main
Get and add the repository key:
wget -qO - https://www.loggytronic.com/dl/apt-public-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -
Then...
apt-get update apt-get install ezcat
The source code is available on GitHub.
Bugs and feature requests are tracked on GitHub.
Or, surely there are other solutions? Well I still find it useful occasionally, and yes there are others, but the real reason EZ Cat 5 exists is that I switched to using KDE and EZ Cat 5 was a project to learn Qt development.
