Limited Folder Report

Post by TestMeister »

I have a large audio library on disk and would like to send a list of the contents to a friend.
The structure is as follows: Artist\Albums\tracks
The tracks are not needed so I want to exclude to keep the list compact and just list Artist\Album
*
On either the Info tab or in the Help I could not see a way to specify a folder depth so what obvious option am I missing :oops:

If your folder structure is Artist/Album, how about Info Panel/Report/Tree Structure?
It gives you a nice tree structure (folders) w/o files. :whistle:

I see that option but how do I specify the path if the folder names are all different?
Here's the content

I just found a solution that I had long forgotten about from the days of DOS but is still supported:
Typing "Tree" at the command line.

It would be good to know if Xy can do this as well.

I have not been able to get any meaningful output from the XY report which may be the result of my not understanding the feature.
The path from the drive root is Y:\Rip\WAV, then the subfolders representing artist name, the next subs show artist albums.
Positioned at the command line at Y:\Rip\WAV, I ran: Tree /A >Temp.txt

I don't know what "not a meaningful output" is, if I can't see it...

Report tab
(o) Tree structure
[x] Include subfolders

shows e.g.:

Code: Select all

C:\Temp
├── Adele
│   ├── 25
│   └── 30
├── Birdy
│   ├── Beautiful Lies
│   └── Fire Within (Deluxe)
├── Depeche Mode
│   └── Spirit
├── Ed Sheeran
│   └── Divide
└── Evanescence
    ├── Greatest Hits
    └── The Bitter Truth
