CD-Tree with all files

AlfaBeta · Post by *AlfaBeta » 2011-11-21, 09:22 UTC

Hello everyone,
I'm new here, so I apologize if I post this in a wrong place or giving a bad name of topic.
I do not know how to say it, but this is my problem :
I have a folder with many sub-folders and many, many documents (I think over 1000 files). I must send to a associate only a part of this documents, the ones he needs, so I must send him a list of all documents (but arranged by folders and subfolders, if not, my associate we'll not be able to understand something) and he will choose the files.
So I made a CD-Tree, I printed it (a made it a .pdf file) and I send him the .pdf file. But the CD-Tree has printed only the folders and the subfolders. He wasn't able to see the files from each folder.
How can I do a list with all the files of the folder ?
Thanks !

Take a look to the plugins "Catalog" and "DiskDir Extended":
http://ghisler.com/plugins.htm

These are wonderful tool to create file-lists.

Apparently it works fine (even if I had some problems until making it right).
Thanks a lot Peter !

One last question. The .lst file who contains all the folders and files can be read by someone who has not installed the plug in in Total Commander or Total Commander at all ?

Well, you can read it using e.g. Notepad, it is not so convenient as via TC with DiskDirExtended, but possible.

I send it to my associate, he can not open the file (but he has Total Commander), he tried with F3, but like MVV said is very inconvenient, especially for long names files. Still searching.

Just suggest him to install DiskDirExtended.

DiskDirExtended is the only thing he needs to view such files.

As MVV already wrote you have to consider that ...

- the created files are "simple" text files, so can open, read and print it with all standard tools like notepad, word, editors and so on. BUT then you will see only a simple list - rather long and rather unhandy.

- the usage of TC with the Plugins gives you the full power of TC: displaying, searching, comparing, filtering - with the list you can do all the things that you can to with your "real file system".

T o use the lists in TC you need only to press ENTER when the file is selected. The relating panel will open the list like a "file structure".

Regards

Peter

Thanks you all.
I wrote an e-mail to my associate how to install Total Commander and the plug in. I think it will work.
Have a nice day

You can just browse to the folder or drive and paste the code below into the command line and hit enter like you're a Samurai Warrior!
[face=courier]

Code: Select all

dir /s/b/o:n > desiredfilename.txt

[/face]
For a file and/or directory list only, hit it with
[face=courier]

Code: Select all

dir /b/o:n > desiredfilename.txt

[/face](:
