Portable Directory Lister

Portable Directory Lister is a straightforward utility whose main functionality focuses on displaying all containing files of one or more selected directories. It can be used by all types of individuals, whether they are experienced in software tools or not.

As the name says, this is a portable app. In other words, Portable Directory Lister does not require installation, hence you can extract the program files to any location on the hard disk and access the executable immediately.

It is also possible to move the program to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, allowing you to run it on any workstation with minimum effort. Plus, the Windows Registry does not get entry updates, and leftover files are not kept on the hard disk after removal.

The interface of Portable Directory Lister is made from a regular-sized window with an Explorer-based folder structure, where you can easily navigate directories on your computer.

All you have to do is select one or more locations, optionally include subdirectories, and save the listing to a plain text document (TXT, HTML or CSV format).

However, numerous options are available for advanced users concerning the listing configuration. Thus, you can select which fields to include (e.g. directory name, time, number, attributes), sort folders by various criteria (e.g. name, extension), and others.

When it comes to the HTML save option, you can customize colors for the background, header and directory font and background, and other fields. You can switch to a different UI language and perform a quick configuration.

Portable Directory Lister is very light on the system resources, using minimal CPU and memory. It has a good response time and generates a listing swiftly, without creating issues to the OS in the process. On the downside, the tool has not been updated for a very long time. Otherwise, Portable Directory Lister should please the entire audience, especially power users.
