About the Author
DiskKeepCatalog was developed by Dusty Lunn, amateur radio operator K2LDL. The project was inspired by years of managing backups, media archives, photos, software collections, and removable drives. It was also encouraged by friends Pat and Rich, who voiced the need for a practical way to catalog collections of thumb drives and external media.
DiskKeepCatalog is personal shareware. Support is appreciated but never required.
