Description
SaveDir saves the file list of any directory or folder to a text file, a feature that the Windows Explorer unfortunately doesn't have. The display of the file list is alike to the good old DOS command DIR. The name of the file, the size of the file in byte and date and time of the file are shown. You may filter a certain file name suffix. You can choose, if hidden files or if system files are shown. SaveDir supports two languages, english and german.
Why is SaveDir useful. Well, the important directories and sub-directories of the Windows system should be saved as a contents table in regularity. That's the way to get control about the files, an application setup added to the Windows system directory. Let's hope, that you will never find a file, which doesn't belong to your system, like a virus. Are you interested, how many files your browser left after visiting the Internet. You may use SaveDir to add a table of contents to your self-made CD-Rs.
Review
You can save the file list of a specific folder by using this handy application, but the app cannot list subfolder files. Although English-speaking users may have some minor difficulty installing it, SaveDir operates in two languages: German and English. The simple interface needs almost no help to understand. As you browse through your folders in a standard file tree, the program immediately displays the folder contents.
To list only the files you want, setting filters takes only a second. The file list displayed in the right pane is easily saved in ASCII text, making it easily altered and printed in all text-editing applications. There is even a useful shortcut that copies the current directory structure to your clipboard.
The program includes a handy search feature to find filenames within the list. Unfortunately, the program can only display and search the files of the current folder. Subfolders are listed, but their contents are hidden.
This is freeware only for personal, noncommercial use. Nonetheless, any home user looking for a basic tool for saving and printing single directory lists surely will appreciate this program.
