Sometimes we need to list out the content a folder. For instance, what are the files saved on your My Documents folder. Instead of typing each file name into a text or Word file, you can do this quickly and effortlessly with a tiny program called JR Directory Printer.

The JR Directory Printer Utility allows you to print a listing of every file contained within a directory and/or subdirectory(ies). The result displayed in Notepad or default text editor as “dirprint.txt” file. This file is created in “JR Directory Printer” installation folder, each time you click the “Start” button.

Options:

Check Recurse Sub-directories option to see a complete list of all subdirectories and all files in all directories.

The Lowercase Filename option will force all file names into lowercase regardless of the actual file name.

Dos style filename option will limit the file name length within 8 chars.

Display Sub-directories will result in a list of all subdirectories contained under the selected directory along with a list of all individual files contained under the root directory. It will not list all subdirectories or individual files contained in the main subdirectories. To see a complete list of all subdirectories and all files in all directories, you would check the Recurse Sub-directories option and click on the Start button. This would rewrite the”dirprint.txt” file using the new options.

You can limit length file names so that they fits properly in list. By default this value is 35 chars.

You can check/uncheck Display Size, DateTime and Attributes option to list/unlist the file size, modified date/time and file attributes (a – Archives, r – Read Only, s – System, h – Hidden).

This program is so small that you do not evto even need to install it. Simply double click to launch the program. It can be saved into your USB flash drive and you can run it straight from there.
