Hi, I did a search but couldn't find if a certain function already exists or if anyone has asked for this feature...

I would like to see if a directory list can be captured for either an entire directory or a selected group of files, with the ability to copy the text of the contents to a program such as notepad. It would be similar to implementing a ctrl-c and ctrl-v except the last step would not copy the files, but only the file names. I think that the DOS function dir had a similar utility, but this would be in windows.

Have you tried menu File > To Clipboard > Item Path/Names (see all the options) after having selected all the files/folders ?
Before, you can also Show All Items in Branch (menu Edit).

thank you jjk...

i really am getting lazy. and thank you to the developer.

Also look at the Report tab on the Info Panel, it's made for this.

very nice; thank you for the help and guidance

i will probably find most everything that i might want, if i take the the time to look

very helpful forum

Or if you generally steer clear of menus...
Select your files, then press CTRL+P for paths and names or CTRL+SHIFT+P just for names (then you just CTRL+V in your favourite text editor). It's a lighter version of the full reports you can get that Don (admin) mentioned.

i didn't want to intentionally bump this topic, but i do appreciate your helpful comments, so thank you
