hi in this video we're going to show you
a tool you could use to make a list of
your files and folders in a certain
directory and also subdirectories so
it's called file Lister so there are two
versions there is a standalone version
where you just download the zip file
extract it and run the executable which
I'm using here and there's also an
installable version so it'll install
like other software and you can use it
for free but you'll have to deal with a
nag screen when you start it and you
won't get any updates so if you do want
to buy it it's only 19 bucks so it's
pretty cheap if it's something you're
going to be using on a regular basis all
right so we're going to run it against
the documents folder here you see it has
some
subfolders and some Word documents PDF
documents HTML documents and so on so
we'll open it up
here so here's your nag screen you have
to click continue
on or you could buy it for $19 from here
so here's where you would set the path
so it's already set from documents from
last time uh you could filter it if you
want and check the box for case
sensitive then you also have some
options here to include subfolders
calculate file size show icons hide
initial path and hide file
extensions and then for the list you
could have files folders or both so
we're going to do both and we're going
to do these three options here so just
click on
start make this a little bit bigger here
so we can see what we're looking at
all right so we have the path here you
can see we have the main directory on
top here you can see this one is a
subdirectory this class spreadsheets
folder and then under that we have some
files as well and then we have the
option to show the icon so it's not
going to show the icons for the word
documents in Excel because office is not
installed on this computer so it doesn't
have those icons to
show and then we have the file size
option here and we could also do this if
we want to hide the path and rescan it
here so that hides the path we want to
hide file extensions we could do that so
let's turn these back off here and start
again so now once you have it done
looking the way you like you can export
it to a file so you can include the
headers and then for columns the default
is name but we could check the other
ones let's just check everything here
just for fun and then for the output
type html text CSV or XLS so since I
don't have Excel on here I'm going to do
an HTML file and then you can set the
tree view to know we'll leave that the
default click on
Save put this on the desktop call it
files right there's our document here
let's just open this with
Edge all right so now here is our
listing so we have the path the date the
type the size the length our headers up
here like
so and then of course you can could
print that out or send it off and if it
was a CSV or Excel file then you could
open in Excel and you know edit it from
there and so on but this is just a basic
HTML print out of it just so you can see
how it
works right let's try it with the tree
view
here let's just overwrite
it okay let's open it
again and now you can see we have the
trieval WHERE kind of indents it for the
other folders
here like
so so totally up to you if you want to
use that option or not so as you can see
it's pretty simple to
use and it does a good job it's nice and
fast so it might come in handy for you
all right so I will put a link in the
description where you can download a
file name Lister and you can try it out
for yourself all right thanks for
watching and be sure to subscribe
