ickvdo (I seek a video)

ickvdo (I seek a video) is a very fast search utility that browses a video folder for a name pattern and creates a playlist (.m3u8 - playable in VLC) out of the matching video names.

It is litterally thousands of times faster than a standard research in Windows 10 or Windows 11 file explorer search bar.

ickvdo (I seek a video) is written by Nicolas Mougin (mougino@free.fr).
