You may want to give MDC (Multi-Disk Catalog, part of CiderPress) a try.
It'll generate listings for all disk images in a directory hierarchy
(DOS, ProDOS, CP/M, Pascal, RDOS), and automatically unpacks .gz files.
I wrote it for a similar reason: finding stuff on hundreds of floppy and
hard drive images can be a pain.  Letting it run through a local copy of
an FTP archive is kind of fun.

Unlike the main CP app, MDC doesn't require registration (it's one of those
"free bonus just for trying" things, so it doesn't expire).
