Directory Printer

Directory Printer is a useful and accessible program designed to provide an efficient method of printing folder and application listings, an option not provided by Windows. You can print detailed lists containing various information about each item.

It's wrapped in a simple-to-use yet cluttered interface stacking all the options in a small window that, unfortunately, can't be resized or maximized. It might take some time to familiarized with each function, especially for those using the program for the first time.

From the menu, you can choose a skin that represents and helps you use the tool much easier. A tree view is displayed on the left side of the panel, from where you can browse the desired location. Underneath it, Directory Printer lets you include and exclude files by entering multiple extensions (.EXE, .DOC, .DLL) separated by semicolons.

Plus, you can disable the option to include leveled subdirectories, show only folders and page header, exclude empty folders, as well as add hidden and system files. On the right side, the tool displays all the items stored in the selected location, along with their name and type.

It's possible to apply information filters, such as short or long name, type, size, or date and time (modified, created, accessed). Additional fields can be included, like attributes, version, MP3 and image info, together with Microsoft Word and Excel properties. The app enables you to export the database to HTML, TXT and CSV file formats.

Last but not least, you have the choice to arrange records based on name, extension, attributes, size, and ascending and descending order. Plus, you can set the page orientation to portrait or landscape, as well as on one, two or four columns. The tree print view feature lets you browse the whole hard drive, print the list as it is, and change the font type and size.

The bottom line is that Directory Printer is a handy and straightforward tool that comes in handy when you want to look through different documents and folders and print their listings applying advanced criteria.
