The Drive Library Sort is rather twitchy tying to Sort A-Z, Z-A, and can't figure out the up arrow and down arrows. The sort is intermittent and lags a lot and doesn't save the sort once I set it the way I like. After closing the app and restarting it the sort defaults to what appears to be a random sort, maybe the order of what was scanned is the default. Please consider having the sort order saved so the same order is presented when app is started... Love this app !!! Thank you !!!

It would be amazing to use the arrows on my keyboard to quickly go through photos or videos once i'm in a folder - that's how I usually quickly preview things in finder

I am using "rclone mount" to mount cloud storage into the local filesystem. It uses FUSE for that but it's all very reliable and documented since a long time. I would love DriveFault to be able to index mounted storages as well - not only connected ones

The utility of the app is much reduced without the ability to index the system drive/internal drive — especially given Spotlight's flakiness. I understand that indexing system folders can be problematic, but simply excluding the OS folders (and other known problematic paths) might be a workaround — or just indexing the user folder (potentially excluding the Library folder) would be hugely helpful

It would be useful to have the ability to have multiple drive scan actions in parallel. Although atm DriveVault is very slow even with plenty of RAM and a M4 Max Studio performing a single scan.

I won't be able to properly test the app before purchase since I only currently have 8TB drives and won't be able to buy smaller drive just for a test. It's not about 4TB not being generous but more about just not having smaller drives.

As I have many black WD drives and internal hard drives lying around , so It would be nice to be able to print a QR code with a label/ name that I can scan with my phone to see the content. Sometimes we don’t have time to plug in numerous unlabelled drives to find the right one! I know you could use a label printer which is fine if you are local. However if you keep backup drives remotely and don’t have a computer handy to plug them into then having a readable QR code would be useful and better than printing out the contents on A4 and attaching to the drive.

Id like to know if you would be able to build into the feature set a more stronger duplicate file analysis, that I can more easily determine duplicates across drives and then sort through them so that i determine which file stays where and which one can be deleted. comparison should be based on some key factors such as the resolution, codec, file size, name, length etc to establish true or near like. And if this can happen vis a vis the catalog, so that I dont have to keep the drive connected once the initial catalog is updated and all. There after the duplicate selection choices are applied onto the respective drives to cater to what to delete and what to move where etc. This would apply to images and videos in particular.
