I've thought to add this feature.
The more difficult is the GUI and which type of disk to apply to a 
"directory disk"? 


Why I did not do it yet?
For the following version of GWhere I want to split GWhere in two parts :
- library for catalog file format.
- the main program.
I want to do it in order to add some plugins for various catalogs files 
formats. 

When this plugin managment will be done, I thought to split GWhere in three 
parts :
- library for catalog file format.
- library for the scan of mounted disks.
- the main program.
At this step we could add a library for the scan of directory or the scan of 
FTP site and more... 

But we can add this feature before. The scan of mounted disk or directory is 
the same work. We must just reflect how to present the functionality in the 
program. 


Best regards,
