File List

The File List command generates a text or HTML file that catalogs the selected files. This is useful for creating inventories, documenting folder contents, or sharing file listings with others.

Usage

Select the files or folders you want to list.
Right-click and choose FilerFrog → File List.
Configure the listing options in the dialog that appears.
Click OK to generate the list file.

Options

Output Format

Text file — A plain .txt file with one entry per line.
HTML file — A formatted .html file that you can open in any browser.

Detail Level

Simple — Lists file names only.
Detailed — Includes additional information such as file size and modification date alongside each file name.

Additional Settings

Full path — Include the complete file path instead of just the file name.
Drill into subfolders — Recursively list the contents of any subfolders within the selection.
Indentation — When drilling into subfolders, indent nested files to visually represent the folder hierarchy.

Example

You need to send a colleague a list of all documents in a project folder. Select the folder, choose File List with the Detailed option and subfolder drilling enabled. FilerFrog generates an HTML file showing every file with its size and date, neatly indented by folder depth.

Tip: The HTML output format is great for printing or sharing, as it renders cleanly in any web browser.

Output Formats

Choose from four output formats:

Text — plain text file (.txt), UTF-16LE encoded
HTML — modern responsive web page (.html) with styled tables and statistics
CSV — comma-separated values (.csv), UTF-8 with BOM for Excel compatibility
JSON — structured data format (.json), ideal for programmatic use
