Printing File/Folder details
Ok I seem to remember how to do this but for the life of me can’t anymore… too many years out of IT and cos I’m using macs now lol
I’ve got an external drive that I want to create a txt file of all it’s contents ie files and folders….. anyone know how to do this?

John,
Think you mean tree used with the /f option will display filename however this is a Windows command, probably no equivilent on MAC.

Found in some other forum:
Go to Applications->AppleScript and open AppleScript Utility and check the boxes for "Show Script Menu in menu bar" and "Show Library Scripts." Once you’ve done that, you’ll see a new icon on the right side of your menu bar that looks like a little scroll thing. Click on that script icon and then select Printing Scripts -> Print Window (or Print Window with Subfolders in your case). A dialog box will come up so you can select the folder whose contents you wish to print. Select the folder and click open and it’ll print a (text) list of files in the folder to your default printer.

It’s an external drive so I can bung it into my PC too so cmd commands are good
Come to think of it I’m maybe better if it just gives me a list of folders as it’s over 100 gig of stuff 😮

I have full 300 GB external HDD + 200 GB internal HDD of "stuff". Some time before I had an idea of sorting but it was a Sisyphean work, because after a month or two you need to do that work again, because contents changes.
So now I just separate everything into folders as much as possible, and trying to delete everything that I don’t need.
