Thanks for the how to. I thought I might add if the end goal is finding the total length, which was what I was looking for, I found a quick way there. Select all the files you have in the folder, right click, select properties then select the details tab and there is a length value of all the files. I was looking for song lengths but it also worked with video.
Its really sad that windows doesn't have this functionality as an inbuilt function. I normally just open up the folder in a command prompt and issue the command Dir > somename.txt and you get all the standard values in the directory list. They are usually sufficient for my purposes but this suggestion gives many more options.
My friend, I can't thank you enough! You just saved me hours and hours of work. Thank you ever so much for giving us top-notch and concise instruction! You are amazing. God bless!
I open my folder with 343 files right click > rename CTRL + copy Open ms word doc CTRL + Paste I did that 343 times it took me roughly 2 hours…. I thought that seemed like way to much work….. Turns out I was right Tried your video “for giggles” 30 Seconds later I have all 343 in text that’s 2 hours I’ll never get back’ 🤦🏻♂️🤣 Thanks for the video Next time it will save so much time’ but let’s be honest by “next time” I’ll have forgotten
thanks....anyone know how to do this Android phones...my storage space is running out..and I have some files...want to delete the file but save all file names as txt..so i. can download from internet by searching filenames
Hi. Great and informative video. When I try this i get a "'FileList.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Error in the cmd window. I am trying to print a list from a folder on a remote disk, would the remote disk be the problem. The media amount and size is enormous so would't wan't to copy it on on my internal drive. Anybody got advice for me?
@@garygillespie I contacted the vendor. They are aware of the situation and recommend using the previous version (on their website) until they develop a fix. After that it is just a format adjustment, if I remember correctly.
@@johncox6 If you divide the number by 10000000 you get the number of seconds from which you can modify the format (divide by 86400) to get hrs:min:sec
@@MichaelPavlovich doing more work now means less work later and every time you do it :p. You could export to a CSV or something like that and just import that into your spreadsheet.
@@Diallo268 sounds intriguing, looking forward to your easy to follow youtube video on step by step how to do it. Googling "powershell" and "scripting" auto signed me up for a coding bootcamp, and now I've been kidnapped and doing forced pushups in some makeshift barracks outside of Macon Georgia!!! plz send hlp
@@MichaelPavlovich lol. It definitely isn't the easiest. I was able to make something quick that will create a CSV file out of all the MP4 files you have in the folder the script is in. Just make a text file, add "Get-Item *.mp4 | select-object -Property name | Export-CSV -Path .\Videolist.csv -NoTypeInformation" (without the quotes) to it and change the file extension to .PS1 . This doesn't look at subdirectories but it's a possibility and I didn't add the extra code to change the _ to a space. As far as the video length, I was unsuccessful. Hope this helps, and GL on your escape! Oh, also you have to right click the file and click "Run with PowerShell" to run it. Open (with notepad) is the default action for powershell scripts.
Never thought this would be needed for me, but it was weirdly perfect help

Some things with filenames and lenght i did in Total Commander but FileList is more powerful. Thank you.
Wow, I wish i could have used this 10 years ago! This is awesome!

This is so useful to make site! It's a pain to rename files.
Does this work on Win 11? Coz it didn't work for me. It says -- ERRR [] Invalid Parameter: >
It didn't work for me either
I do not have 'Copy as Path'. Need to find out of how to do it.
Press shift then right click
My output length shows as an 11 digit number. What did I do wrong?
mine did 9 digits, anyone know the fix?

How do you get that window to pop up at 1'17" in your video?
Right click any of the top row that says things like | Name | Date | Folder Path |
You can do that naively with powershell. You could just write a script for it.
Powershell? Script?!? I sculpt creatures for a living -.-
