an existing catalog file would be overwritten if the same name is used.
show a message for the user to choose to overwrite or cancel

Until now, each Search request triggered a loop loading and going through each catalog file.
Better management of files listed in csv catalogs:

• upon each search request, only load new/required catalogs into memory

• enable faster search in catalogs already loaded

• new catalog field to capture if/when it was loaded

• file table to store full catalogs

• a search request only load catalog file if never loaded or updated

• rewrite search in catalogs

• Hide loaded version value

Starting with 4 values:
catalogName
catalogSourcePath
catalogDateUpdated
catalogFileCount
catalogFilePath

to be stored in Settings

• Replace this list of full catalog path by the catalog name only
• generate the list from the catalog model
• Adapt main Search
• simplify the code for reload/refresh everywhere

• add button to "Record for Stats"
• add catalog info to a statistics file

• ui: checkbox under other options
• change iterator accordingly
• record in the catalog the choice so it can be use when updating the catalog
• display in the catalog list

• prevent the search
• user message

Replace the radio buttons by combobox:

• let space in the windows and all in one line
• easier maintenance and to get values for the search methods

When cataloging such folder or file, it results in the file info save on several lines, breaking the validity of the lines.

= narrow the treeview down to most common places for drives:
/home, /media /mnt, /run/media/username

try with Sources
search text = test
begin with
file names only
text

It seems broken if the word order does not match:
ex: searching "test video" finds a file names " test file video.mp4" but not a file named "video file test.mp4"

This will allow later additional search criteria or statistics.

(a folder may be present permanently but its related device may not be mounted to it.

(at the moment there's a reset and messages if no selection)

Expand the catalog a model for the Search tab:

Display additional fields (correct display, type and sorting):

• file name
• file path
• file size
• file date (string, but store/displayed in ISO for correct sorting)

Features:

• left click to open
• context menu
• files found counter
• export results (list of absolute path only)

Search:

• test/adapt existing features to the new model

• application folder (current default)
• collection folder
• home folder /.config
• user specified

Implement a model to manage files information (name, path, size, date, etc.)

• create initial model
• update cataloging method to also get file size and date
• populate data model from a catalog file
• update file view to use model

Fields (correct display, type and sorting):

• file name
• file path
• file size
• file date (string, but store/displayed in ISO for correct sorting)

Features:

• left click to open
• context menu

solved: was using int for filesize, thus limiting to 2GB file size.
switched to qin64 globally.
