Subject: Partly OT: An app for listing folder contents as text?


FishNose ( ) posted Mon, 31 October 2005 at 5:37 AM ยท edited Sat, 20 July 2024 at 12:30 PM

I have a perpetual problem in Poser: I have so many hairstyles, so many clothes, so many poses (LOL) that I have no overview, no idea what everything is and where to find it. I often have stuff and completely forget about it. A consequence of this is that I tend to use old favorites, which is fine, but rather limiting... Is there an app I can use to list the contents of my folders as text, so I can print them and have them as a reference while I work in Poser? Of course, the coolest would be if I could prit out with all the png's showing as little thumbs, but that's expecting too much I'm sure, heheh. :] Fish

Online Now!

If using a PC, you could always open a command line and pipe the output from a DIR command to a file.

OMG! Mystic-Nights, I could kiss you!!!! I have been asking for years if this was possible, and all anyone told me was "take a screenshot", or make a spread sheet. And now here you are with links to actual programs that do this very thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Start Command prompt if the folder you're after isn't on the boot drive type the letter of it, followed by a colon, and hit renturn, eg d: now type cd followed by the folder path (or cd and drag the little folder icon from the address bar of an Explorer window into the command prompt window), and hit renturn, eg cd "RuntimesHairRuntimelibrarieshairDAZ Hair" now type dir *.hr2 > (again, you can use the drag the icon from an Explorer window for the path and then just add the txt file name) and hit renturn, eg dir *.hr2 > "C:My DocumentsFile listsDAZ Hair.txt" and you should get your index. If you add the /s switch, eg dir /s *.hr2 > "C:My DocumentsFile listsDAZ Hair.txt" you will get all of the subfolders too. There are a number of other switches to use - type dir /? for a listing.

Attached Link: DISCLIB

I have so much that I've placed my items on CDs and now DVDs and the very very best program for cataloging what is under each folder of my cds and dvds is a free program called DiscLib, which you'll find here. :)

Semi-related: Is there an -automatic- way to form a directory within a website? Many folks have wanted me to set up an index with descriptions, but the labor of copying and pasting every filename (especially when the content changes daily) just isn't worth it.

hmm..
dir /w /s >list can't remember if this would work, but it might in Dos mode. Just takes the contents as text, and empties them into a text file called list. I seem to remember /s is subdirectories, but I could be wrong..yeah..tested it, and it seems to work.

It's a similar procedure for OS X. The command line app is called "terminal".

The batch file below creates 2 listing of all the exe and zip files in one directory (folder). Fire up notepad and copy the text below. save it as list.bat into the folder you want to list (it will list subfolders if memorys serves). Then run it. After it's done look in the root of drive C:, you'll find two files. ========================start================ cls @echo off ECHO ECHO PRESS A TO START. B TO EXIT CHOICE /c:AB SELECT A KEY: IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO DONE IF ERRORLEVEL 1 IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO :A IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO :B :A dir *.exe /b /s /o:n >c:exes.txt dir *.zip /b /s /o:n >c:zips.txt GOTO DONE :B GOTO DONE :done ====================stop==================
