Product overview
Directory List & Print is a utility for creating, viewing, and printing lists of folders and files. It gives you control over which items appear, how the list is formatted, and the file types you can export the output to. The program supports both Mac and Windows computers and offers a free trial so you can evaluate it before committing.
Core capabilities
- Generate detailed lists that include filenames, sizes, timestamps, and optional checksum values.
- Sort and filter results by criteria such as modification date, file size, and filename.
- Output the list in several formats, including Microsoft Word documents, HTML pages, and plain text files.
- Print directory listings directly or copy them to the clipboard for pasting into other apps.
Platforms and compatibility
Directory List & Print runs on macOS and Windows. The interface presents folder contents in a hierarchical tree so you can select entire folders or individual files for inclusion.
