DirExport

DirExport is an advanced and approachable software utility designed to export lists with files, directories and their various details to reports for closer inspection.

It's practical for organizing photos, videos, documents, applications and any other files of importance when you're planning to create backups, reinstall Windows, or to simply organize personal data more efficiently.

The main app window is elegant and well-structured, putting emphasis on simplicity. All options are visible, giving you an overview before diving into the configuration process.

Using the built-in drive navigator, you can seamlessly explore disk directories and locate the files you want to take into account for the listing.

Their details are displayed on the bottom part of the window, and these include the file name, full path, size and extension, date and time of last modification, along with the total files and folders.

Worth noting is that folders can be included in the listing, while files can be kept or discarded. It's possible to filter files by mask, sort them by any of the previously described fields, as well as to hide extensions, headers and gridlines.

When it comes to export options, DirExport lets you choose between plain text format TXT (tab-delimited), HTML, CSV (tab-delimited) and Excel spreadsheet XLS. Alternatively, it can just copy all information to the Clipboard, so that you can paste it wherever required.

Results can be previewed in any of the file formats while keeping in mind that Microsoft Excel must be installed to be able to preview spreadsheets. It's not required for saving data as XLS files, though.

There is no installation involved, which makes DirExport portable. It's packed in a single .exe file that can be dropped anywhere on the disk or copied to a pen drive to directly launch it on any PC without setup.

It doesn't need DLLs or other components to work properly, nor does it integrate new entries into the system registry. However, it creates temporary files for previews. Configuration settings are remembered on exit.

We haven't experienced any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't hang, crash or prompt errors. It analyzed file details and created listings swiftly while remaining light on system resources consumption.

Taking everything into account, DirExport offers a simple and elegant solution for generating reports with details about files and folders. It caters to all types of users looking to organize information in an efficient manner.
