Print and Save Directory Structures Fast with BarrySoft DirLister

DirLister (originally developed under names like BarrySoft / SanderSade) is a lightweight, open-source Windows utility designed to quickly catalog, save, and print lists of files and folders. It serves as a fast, graphical alternative to typing complex command-line prompts (like dir > list.txt) when you need to document large quantities of data. Key Features of DirLister

Multi-Format Exports: You can generate folder structures and save them as plain text (.txt), HTML webpages, CSV files, JSON, XML, or Markdown (.md).

Windows Shell Integration: You can right-click any drive or folder in Windows Explorer and choose “Send To –> DirLister” to index your directories instantly without opening the full program UI.

Deep File Customization: The utility allows you to extract extra data metadata beyond names, including file sizes, creation/modification dates, system/hidden attributes, and media information.

Targeted Filtering: It includes regular expressions and wildcard support (.), making it easy to filter out junk files and focus only on specific extensions (e.g., listing only .mp3 or .pdf files).

Drag-and-Drop Capability: You can drag folders directly from your desktop into the interface to queue them up immediately. How to Use DirLister Fast

The interface is built around a simplified workflow split primarily between two actionable spaces: the Input tab and the Output tab.

Select Your Target: Open the app and navigate to the Input tab. Click “Select Folder” or drag and drop the root directory you want to scan.

Toggle the Subfolders: Check the recursive mode box if you need to index all nested subdirectories along with your core folder structure.

Choose Your Format: Switch to the Output tab to set your preference (such as HTML for a clean, clickable visual layout or TXT for a simple text log).

Run and Export: Hit the Go! or generate button. The program builds your structured report instantly, allowing you to save it to your disk or print a hard copy. If you are evaluating this app for your files, let me know:

What specific format do you want your final folder structure to be in?

Are you looking to list all files or only specific extensions (like images or music)?

I can guide you on the exact filter rules or settings to use! DirLister v2 beta – GitHub
