Print Files in Subdirectories (Not 'By Subdirectory')

Post by *Alonzo Mosley »

I have a bunch of files in a dozen or so subdirectories.

I'd like a list of ALL files by Alpha.

"PRINT=>File list with subdirs" gives me Alpha by Subdirectory. I just want the long list.

In other words:

I want:
Apple.docx
Baby.xlsx
Cherry.pdf
Delta.pptx
Echo.txt

I'm getting
[Action]
Baby.xlsx
Delta.pptx
[Breakups]
Apple.docx
Echo.txt
[Cill My Landlord]
Cherry.pdf

You're probably looking for Branch View - Ctrl+B or Ctrl+Shift+B (the latter for selected directories only).

Close!

If I select all the subdirectories and hit Ctrl-B, my screen lists all the files in Alpha order.

But if I hit "Print=>files", it still puts them in their subdirectory (albeit formatted differently:
Action\Baby.xlsx
Action\Delta.pptx
Breakups\Apple.docx
etc...

Not sure if it's possible to leave out the directory name. But I can say that it's possible to copy the list and paste it into any other application you like - and print from there. Or save it as a text/list file, edit that to remove the directory names and then print it.

As @tuska suggested, the cm_CopyNamesToClip will save only filenames to clipboard. (cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip or cm_CopyHdrFileDetailsToClip save also details)

Save clipboard content to a file (use get-clipboard/gcb in powershell script). Call notepad with /p <saved file> to print it.

I meant leaving the directory names out when printing a file list from a branch view. As far as I can see, TC prints something different than what is on screen.

PS: I know that copying&pasting is possible, that's why I also mentioned that way.

Ah, thank you for clarifying.
