Creating text file from selection
Posted: 27 Oct 2010 16:28
While browsing the Wishes forum just now I saw several referring to something called FilerFrog. Since I had no idea what it was, I went to have a look, and read through its features. Nothing really grabbed me until I saw this:
List of Files
Create a text or html file containing a list of the files and folders selected.
Usage: Simply select the files and folders you wish to be included in the list, Right click and choose one of the options in the List of Files submenu. You have the choice between a Simple or a Detailed list and whether you would like to include the full path of the files, for easy access. A Simple list contains only the file names, while a Detailed list also has the files’ creation date, modification date, size and type. Once you’ve chosen which list you’d like, the List Of Files dialog will appear. In this dialog you can choose if you want a text or html file and you can also specify the file name. You can also choose to include the subfolders and decide if you want them to be indented. Click OK and a file containing the list will be created instantly.
I could immediately see a use for something like this, particularly if, were I to select a handful of folders, it could output like this:
folder 1
- file 1.mp3
- file 2.txt
- file 3.jpg
folder 2
- file 1.png
folder 3
folder 4
- file 1.odt
etc.
Anything like this exist? I had a look through the right-click menu and didn't see anything.
Also, in the right-click menu I have an option 'XYplorer'. It's not a submenu, just a single option. Not sure what it does. Can someone enlighten me?
