Why did you choose the UMS option instead of the manager option?
I thought this was slightly more work: mounting the drive, using a
simple data base to get a neat arrangement of files on drive, etc.

Ifp-line works quite well if you don't mind using the command line.
(It seems to work with mc as an interface but I have not tried this yet
 as I never install mc and don't like it).
