Saw this thing on a few blogs today: http://freegeographytools.com/2011/search-and-catalog-your-local-geodata-arcgis-users-only
and of course seeing 'arcgis only' made me think that a similar tool that used gdal/ogr and interfaced to qgis (and other mapping packages) would be rather good. I recall starting to write something similar, but discovered so many spatial data sets appeared twice - for example a directory with shapefiles in it is seen by OGR as a data set with each shapefile a layer, and the shapefiles themselves appear as data sets in their own right. I think I stopped there (I'm easily beaten). But I have a vague recall that someone else has worked on something similar. Or did I dream it?
