You know what should be really simple to do, but isn't? Printing out directory lists! It's not something you really think about until you need to, but when you do, prepare to get frustrated and waste a lot of time taking screenshots, scrolling, taking more screenshots, printing, and so on!
Here's where Directory Lister Pro steps in! It lets you save and print lists of files from selected folders on hard disks, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, USB flash drives, and network shares. Even better, you can email these lists to yourself, or export them as HTML, text or CSV formatted files!
You can print as much or as little info as you need, including file name, extension, file type, owner, and attributes. Depending on the type of files that are in the directory, you can also include information such as track, title, artist, and album for music files, and frames per second for video files. Microsoft Office files get their own unique set of columns as well! The look and feel of the output is completely customizable.
If you're only looking for specific files and folders, you can limit what Directory Lister Pro displays by using filters for filename, date, size, or attributes. You can even use Directory Lister Pro to find the largest files and folders on your hard drive! Best of all, you can integrate Directory Lister Pro right into the context menu for Windows Explorer, giving you easy one click access to directory listings!
For web work, Directory Lister Pro really shines. In HTML format, your directory file lists can contain live links to actual files and directories, so visitors can click through to get more information. Change background colors, set styles for header, directory rows, odd and even rows, even the surrounding frame!
Is this licensed per machine, per user, or some other way? I've searched the website/forums, and read the EULA. Even though what I've seen suggests that it's licensed per user, I can't find a definitive answer. Can I use this on both my desktop and my laptop with a single license?
License is per user, so as long as you can assure one license will be used only by one user at a given time, you are free to install it on both computers.
Seems like a useful application. Can I export column data to Excel directly? I tried running it on my photos folder containing 25000 photos (13GB data) and it crashed after a while before it could display the result. I am running Win7 64 bit Home Premium (i7-920, 12GB RAM) so not sure what caused the crash!
Unfortunately, the payment page is trying to force me into adding the extended download option, an additional $10 + charge. I've gone through filling in the order forms 3 times with the same result. I hope that problem can be fixed, as I would like to buy this product.
It crashed? That's impossible! :D I will contact you via mail to investigate it further and will be happy to include the fix in the next update. As for the Excel export - you can save the listing into a CSV file which you can open directly in Excel.
to Thomas Colvin: please select the check box in the "Remove" column for the "Extended Download for Directory Lister Pro" position and then press the "Update" button. This will effectively remove this option from the cart. This option is NOT required to purchase the product and can be safely removed from the basket. Sorry about that, but it is share-it obstacle.
Kate, is it possible to download and install updates if I uncheck the extended download service? If so, which new versions are free downloads? Jøran Toresen
to Jøran Toresen: Yes, it is possible to download and install updates if you uncheck the extended download service. All future upgrades are for free :) Also you will never miss an upgrade if only you leave the "Automatically check for updates" option checked on the "Program options" page. The program then checks for updates every 30 days.
I tested it on Win 7 Home 64-bit, too, and also got crashes. They normally contain these informations: DirListerPro.exe 1.31.0.0 4b5b6d22 mshtml.dll 8.0.7600.16490 4b2c9557 c0000005 0029ebb6 126c 01cac5189755c428 D:\PC (x86)\Directory Lister Pro\DirListerPro.exe C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mshtml.dll 9d856e4d-310c-11df-ab59-002564f28a5a maybe the problems come from the HTML-output, or the softwares gets problems when busy getting data and the user changes the list layout meanwhile.
to Peter Pereh: Thank you for this info. We were not able to reproduce it (yet) on our test Win7 64 bit system with 10000+ pictures, but will investigate this further and include the fix in the next update.
Just another observation. While the program was working, the task manager showed it with 25% CPU. Suddenly the Windows popup came: 'it seems this program does not work anymore', at the same time the manager changed to 0%. To a normal user (like me) it seemed like Windows did not realize that the program was still working and shut it down intentionally.
to Peter pereh: It would be interesting to see how would Windows react if you open the listing directly in Internet Explorer. The preview window is actually an embedded version of Internet Explorer so displaying a HTML table with 30000+ rows should be hard enough for both applications. To prevent Directory Lister Pro from displaying the listing in the Preview window you would need to uncheck "Automatically refresh preview" option on the "Program options" page. Then please save the listing using the diskette icon on the toolbar. You will see then how big is the listing.
I do not think that the error is caused only by the number of files. I got it with some 140 folders containing 7000 jpg files.
Yes Peter, in my case too when the application was busy getting data for 25k photos, I changed the list layout to add additional columns and then the popup window came (after 30 secs) terminating the application. Will give it another try on a different folder.
Peter, could you please write an e-mail to support@krksoft.com so I am able to provide some more help on the issue?
I have tested this program and I'm going to purchase it today. It's fast and have many useful options. By the way Kate, are you the creator of Directory Lister Pro? Jøran Toresen
to Jøran Toresen: nope, but I am the company owner ;)
Is there a way to put the path at the end of the row? "Path" does not appear on the list of columns on the "Column order" sheet, but it is a separate field. It seems that by default it goes first. Why?
to Marek Curious: Correct, "Path" is normally displayed as part of the file name and actually it can only be a separate column for CSV listings. Why would you put it as the last column? Path is also displayed in the directory row above all files.
Maybe it is a remnant from old Unix times :) I always put the path at the end, because it can be long at times. Imagine you have e.g. photos in various folders and would like to search for duplicates. In my opinion a good approach is to export the list with name as the first field and path as the last one, sort, and then look at the end in which folders the duplicates are. Having the path at the end helps you align fields with almost no effort. Of course you can do anything you want in read moreExcel, but ... Don't want to be picky, I should rather ask if it could be changed in a future release
to Marek Curious: Please try this approach: 1) Check the "Path" option on "Standard columns" page 2) Uncheck "Directory rows" option on the "Display" page. This will enable "Files treated all together" option on the "Behavior" page, so check this option. 3) Make sure file sorting is done by "Name" on the "Format & Sorting" page. This should give you exactly what you want. Also if you have files with different names, but same size and content you can detect this by checking any of the hashes on "Other columns" page and then sorting by this hash.
Well, I have sent you a mail as you have wished, no answer so far. In Germany, it is 9:30 p.m. so I will be gone now. I hope you will be able to fix the problem, because it is a great litte application, especially to mention the HTTP-listing with links and the flawless german GUI.

Please note: iSpring Pro is compatible with PowerPoint 2007, 2003, XP and now supports the new features of PowerPoint 2010 (32 and 64-bit)!
Without a doubt, PowerPoint has become the platform of choice for business presentations. But, as the web has expanded in its scope and influence, a rift has erupted between the presentation powers of PowerPoint and the distribution capabilities of the internet. You can have the best PowerPoint presentation ever on your laptop, but it's largely useless to anyone outside of the conference room that you've scheduled for a meeting.
PowerPoint was never meant to be web-enabled. So, how can you bring your PowerPoint presentations to a larger audience? How do you make it possible for your coworkers around the world to access and view your presentation from any broadband connection?
iSpring Pro makes it simple to create portable, web-ready Flash movies from PowerPoint content with a single click!
iSpring Pro works as a PowerPoint add-in and quickly converts your PowerPoint presentations into professional Flash movies, retaining all animations, transition effects, hyperlinks and styles, embedded audio and video clips. It even lets you insert YouTube videos into presentations without ever sending your viewers to an external resource or website.
Worried about getting your point across? iSpring Pro lets you record audio voiceovers and sync them with your slides to capture your audience attention and fully illustrate points. You can personalize your presentation with presenter’s info and company logo or add multiple presenters if a group of people are presenting a single slideshow. iSpring Pro comes with set of highly customizable Flash-based player templates to create unique presentation appearance and navigation.
iSpring Pro features the brand new Presentation Explorer. It's a structural tool that lets you manage audio, presenters, hidden slides, and organize multilevel navigation – all from a single window! And of course, iSpring Pro lets you preview how your Flash file will look (exactly as your audience will see it) before you commit to a final conversion.
With iSpring Pro in your toolbox, your presentations will benefit from the unique features of Flash movie files, such as compactness, easy distribution, secure content, and high compatibility with all browsers and computer platforms. iSpring Pro-generated Flash movies are ready to be integrated into website or blog. Better yet, you can have iSpring Pro generate an entire HTML page containing your Flash file. You can also make a standalone executable EXE file that will play even if no Flash player is installed on the end viewer’s computer!

Thanks for this product which is useful for my training purpose. However, I found an alternative solution which could achieve the same effect (Not perfect but it's for free). It's giving out free licenses at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/wondershare-ppt2flash-standard. I think both tools could be satisfied, but I prefer to use free one for evaluation at first.
Vicki, I'm not affiliated with this product, but I do know that the products on "Give Away of the Day" are not allowed to be used for commercial purposes.
