![]() ![]() TVS-872XT with SSD's is for their Photography department - at least I could get Qsirch to work (32 TB, 16 gig RAM), but Spotlight searching is terrible. I have convinced them to retire the old Mac server and switch to QNAP - well, the QNAP is great, and fast, but they can't search for any of their files. I previously had a macOS Server system in there for the video department, and of course, this was all Apple so Spotlight worked flawlessly for them. Universal is unwilling to do this with their systems, and they are very unhappy with me, because they can't use Spotlight to find their files on the QNAP, and they tried EasyFind and NeoFinder, but But Disney is using NeoFinder to index the QNAP drives, and they reindex every evening. Well, I am the stupid contractor for them, and they have a ton of QNAP's. I fully understand that QNAP's competitors like Synology are in the same boat. I offered other solutions to my clients like Neofinder and the Apple Apple Store EasyFind, but these were not sufficient to them - they are just used to Apple Spotlight, which works great on HFS+ Mac volumes, but does not work properly with the QNAP and Qsirch. But if you are an enterprise user, with 100 TB + of media, with tons of nested folders and files - THE VERY REASON you need a search tool - well, forget about it - you can't search the QNAP. ![]() I tried it on my home QNAP Systems with about 100 Gig of media, and I can find stuff. So it appears that if you are a consumer user, looking for a file on your Plex server application with a few shows - I guess that works. On larger systems (TVS-EC1680U, TS-1683XU-RP) with 150 - 200 TB of storage, it won't even allow for Qsirch to work - it gives you "Insufficient Memory", and you can't search at all. You have to enter the complete verbose file name for Qsirch to find the file.ĪND I only discovered this after extensive testing on a smaller 32 TB all SSD QNAP TVS-872XT. And God forbid you have a folder called EpcotCenter, and all your files that you need are in the EpcotCenter folder - if you just type in EpcotCenter, it will NOT find the folder. After all - that's the reason youĪre searching - because you don't remember the exact name of the file. and you just type in Disney_EpcotCenter - it will not find all the files associated with this. ![]() It will only find files, if you have the complete file name in there.īut if you are searching for Disney_EpcotCenter_MickeyMouse_Friday_71460.mov. Spotlight, so they can just type something in, and it will find the files or folders on the QNAP mounted volume.Īs someone recently pointed out, no matter what - when Qsirch is enabled and everything is indexed, Qnap will NOT find folders. ![]() Clients who are using Apple computers want Qsirch to work with Apple Now with recent updates, Qsirch works within the QNAP. Since the app is able to detect the embedded metadata, it will prove to be a great tool for sorting or finding media content.At one time, Qsirch did not work at all. NeoFinder can be used to scan your entire media collection, even if it is stored on multiple volumes. The same workflow is used to help you find specific files: you get to define the search location, the file kind, take into account the file name, duration, path, tags, creation or modification date, and much more. Streamlined cataloger for large media collections Moreover, you can choose to browse the included data via smart folders: the app comes with predefined smart folders but also allows you to create your own by defining specific sorting rules. In addition, you can visualize geotagged images on a map, or assign geographic info to your photo. In the NeoFinder main window you can navigate your catalogs in icon, list or columns mode: simply select one of the included file, and the app displays the thumbnail if available, all the detected metadata, and details about the current catalog. Browse your media catalogs or take advantage of the powerful search capabilities Via the NeoFinder Cataloging Settings window allows you to decide which type of files should retain the metadata info, specify the archives that should be indexed (disk images, ZIP, Stuffit, RAR, or TAR archives), or the elements to be ignored (invisible items, alias files, package contents, or Finder labels). Right off the bat, you must decide which volumes or folders should be indexed and NeoFinder will automatically generate a new catalog for each new location. Scan and catalog the media content from various volumes NeoFinder is a macOS application designed to help you manage your media collections in a more intuitive and efficient manner. Apple’s Finder application is great for managing all sorts of files, but when dealing with media content, being able to quickly preview the data will greatly reduce the processing time. ![]()
