      A lot of you probably know this, and if you know of a quicker method I would love to hear it!

      Say you are uploading a folder containing a collection of files and you want to include a list of them in your torrent description, obviously typing the names individually can be time consuming.

      For the purpose of simplicty the collection is stored in c:\collection (collection can be any named folder)

      open a dos prompt
      cd\collection
      dir >list.txt

      This will create a text file called 'list' (you can choose any name you desire) containing the directory listing of all files in the folder 'collection', you can now open it with any document editor, select the text you want and then copy and paste it into the torrent description.

          To include subfolders add /s:
          dir/s >list.txt

            Hi all  🙂

            Old time is back again, with all those /a /b /o /p and many others I forgot lol
            James, as you will see in the attached pic (it's one of your torrent), you can also click on "File List" and it automatically displays all files names and corresponding sizes, ordered alphabetically, another great feature in this wonderful site  🙂

              I'm kinda lazy when it comes to this so I let my computer do it for me.

              How, do you ask?

              This article shows an easy way to set it up in the context menu if you use windows explorer.
              hxxp://www.theeldergeek.com/file_list_generator.htm

              I use this in the batch file to get only the filenames.

              dir /a /b /-p /o:gen >filelisting.txt

                Hey Brandon  🙂
                Well I wasn't really far with my "abop" lol
                As far as I remember, Noughty's /s is very important in case there are sub-folders.

                What's incredible is this : how is it Micro$oft NEVER added a native Windows utility to create those folders/files lists since Windows appeared (in 199x ?)

                Because some guys just never know anything about .bat files or Dos Prompt . I know users that start to shake as soon as the screen is black as night and it displays C:>

                During the years, I found a couple of Windows external utilities to manage that kind of listing, but I always come back to the "old" dir command, after entering the Dos Prompt

                And if I forget the switches, then dir /? is a big help
                Especially if you redirect the help in a txt file for future analysis: dir /? > dirhelp.txt

                The most difficult part when you're back in Windows ?
                Where was this dirhelp.txt saved ? I can't find it anymore  :crazy2:

                That's why I changed the Properties of the Dos prompt to always start in C:\  ;D

                  Generally it will either save in your user account folder, or in the folder you execute the command from

                    Anyone had a problem with folders like [Downloads]? Can't I use this if there are "[" in a folder name? This is kinda stupid, they shouldn't allow "[" in folder names if it messes everything up. And it does as the path can be found only till this folder.

                      I'm thinking that may be something either specific to your machine or specific to Microsnot Winbows Vista as I have not been able to duplicate such a problem running in a Winblows XP or Winblows 7 environment.

                        I'm not sure if it's allowed to post or mention, but there is a free program out there called Directory Printer.  Its Fantastic!!!  The features allow you to print only those things you want.

                        There are a lot of free programs offered here, but here's the link to Directory Printer.

                        hxxp://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp

                        If I'm not suppose to post this type of thing, please delete this post.  I just figured since its free and open source it would be ok.

                        By the time you're done reading this and find out it doesn't really say anything, its too late.

                          AS long as the link is not a "live Link" ~ does not go to Wooptydoo as a redirection to the site.
