Print file list from explorer

joolsveer

Does anyone have the name of a utility which will help me print a list of filenames from Windows Explorer. I have a lot of jpegs that I need to sort and I think having printed directory lists will help.

BTW I can't get the search function in Boards to work.

What i do is:

Open up command prompt. Move to the directory you want to get the file list for, for example, "cd folder". Then type "dir/b C:\LOCATION>filename.txt "

Where location would be the name of the folder, the full pathname. And filename.txt is any name you want for the file. If you do this, the txt file will be in that folder with a list of the entries.

Command prompt:

dir /s "c:\whatever_folder\" > c:\output.txt

as above, you can use the 'tree' function in DOS to print out the contents of every folder. Go to run, type cmd or command and then cd to the directory where you want to start a tree. You can pipe the output to a txt file too, " tree > myfile.txt "

If by any chance you need to rename those jpegs when sorting them out, a program that I found very useful was called 'The Rename'. You can find it at http://www.herve-thouzard.com/

create a file called list2prn.bat
dir %1 /o >lpt1
put in the send to folder

It will dump a sorted list of files (by name) to the default printer
or for a two liner
dir %1 /o /s > file.txt
start file.txt

I like JR Directory Printer. Comes in handy.
