Seems like a lot of bloat just to print out a recursive list of files/folders.
As nudel says, FlatView works fine for this.[/quote]
Unless, I missed something you care to enlighten me on, I don't believe FlatView gets the job done.
Fuzi explicitly stated that he wants to be able to select certain subfolders, and obtain a list of their files with full paths.
So how do you do print that list from FlatView, with the paths to the files?
With my button, you list the main folder (Say your pictures folder) and select the subfolders you want: B-day Party, Summer Vacation, and Graduation. And in one click, you have a list open in Notepad with all the files in only those subfolders on your list, which you can copy-and-paste, or print out.
@fuzi1968
I made that button to create printouts or text files I could copy-and-paste from. I just downloaded SetClip a couple of days ago, but you could modify the same script to just add the information to directly to the clipboard, if you do not want to copy it from the report.
The script as it is now will not actually add the folder you selected, just all of the files inside of it. I'm working on a copy that will also include the hidden files. I can also add the selected subfolders themselves in the list, along with their contents. I couldn't quite tell if that is what you meant above.
I've added copy file, copy path+file, copy path+file as URI to my right click menu .. you can add much more so you can use it in the finder/output windows too!
I should clarify, If I select two folders and choose "Search" from the lister context menu Opus opens up the find panel and I see both folders quickly scroll by and stopping with the last folder.
If I click a button/press hotkey with the Find command, it completely ignores which folders were selected.
But if you wanted to search every subfolder, then yes Find works perfectly for you.
I'm still happy with my button, which allows me to select the specific subfolders and all files get listed.
I can modify it for a file extension filter and things like that. However, I do not know if (through my script) I can get the paths as URIs.
anyway it's 6:21 AM here and I need sleep (been up all night)
I see why Ken's button is different than flat-view... but not why doing a search for all files would be different from flat-view, since you can only search ONE folder at a time. Flat view would have produced exactly the same results without all the clicking through the find dialog...
