A highly requested feature: during catalog creation, you can now generate MD5 or SHA-1 checksums for every file. This is invaluable for archivists who need to verify data integrity over time.
Assuming it catalogs files, metadata, or assets:
| Action | Example command |
|--------|------------------|
| Initialize a catalog DB | x-catalog-tool init --db catalog.db |
| Index a directory | x-catalog-tool add /path/to/data --recursive |
| Search by keyword | x-catalog-tool find "keyword" |
| Export catalog | x-catalog-tool export --format csv --output report.csv |
| Show version | x-catalog-tool version → should show 1.11 |
Version 1.11 is classified as a "Stability and Performance" release. It addresses several memory leak issues identified in v1.10 and introduces a new indexing engine designed for modern SSD architectures.
Beyond its native query interface, X Catalog Tool 1.11 can export results to CSV, JSON, HTML, and XML. This makes it easy to integrate with inventory systems, asset management software, or even a simple Excel spreadsheet.
