Each profile has its own basic layout, include filter extensions, selected columns, sort type, and how to save/open the resulting output file. You get three predefined profile types for all files, audio files, and video files but can easily make your own. What makes Filelister interesting is it works using profiles that you create for different scenarios. The scanning is also pretty fast and a full C drive scan output to an HTML file only took about 5 seconds. DirLister is able to scan down into sub folders, include hidden files in the list, and include the full path to each listed file. There’s an option for multiple file masks so you can include only specific files like *.jpg, *.mp3, or *.exe. You can save to plain text, an Excel spreadsheet file, an HTML page, and also tab or space separated text files. The most notable is the output types of the file to be saved. It’s a small 474KB portable executable with a few options users could find useful. Not to be confused with the other DirLister program here, this one is by Barrysoft. To see how the output file will look, go to the Preview tab. You can edit a few HTML settings such as color and font or include a custom external CSS file. Options 2 is to choose the output type, which can be a text file, an HTML file, or a CSV file. There’s also various sorting settings and a file mask to select specific file extensions. The Options 1 tab is where the column selection is found with 17 different data columns available. A nice feature is the option to select multiple drives or folders at once from the folder tree.
The free version of Directory Lister from 2006 has loads of features and does some things better than many tools that are still being developed. KRKsoft made Directory Lister a full shareware product some time ago, but they used to have a freeware version.
