PRINTING A FOLDER CONTENTS LIST?

I'm trying to print the contents list of a folder as we used to be able to do in system 9. I'm aware of dragging the folder onto my printer icon that I've placed in my menu bar. That works fine but only shows me the folders contained within the main folder. It will list the contents of any sub folders within the main folder even if I open these folders in the finder to reveal contents on the screen. Am I missing something or is doing a screengrab the only way to get a printed list of a folder's contents?
Thanks,
Bruce

There's a free utility Print Window at versiontracker.com.
Or, drop the folder on TextWrangler (also freeware) and print from there.

    Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
    Screen shots are getting old hat.
    Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large. 
    Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this?  Thanks in advance.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • Printing Finder (Folder) Contents

    I often have need to print the contents of a folder as it appears in the finder (i.e. print the finder window or some list of filenames in the folder). There is no "Print" command in the file menu when a window is open. I have been taking snapshots of various views, but sometimes end up with multipl snapshots.
    Is anyone aware of another way to do this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Just boot into OS9 it has the capability... J/K!
    OK, here's a few ways...

  • Folder Content Listed in Content Area

    I understand that this is an issue that was fixed from a previous version, but I will give it a shot anyway.
    I would like to direct the folder content to open in the "content" area NOT in the portlet when I select a folder, but apparently this was something that was fixed in 3.0.8. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it back the old way?

    Hi Dharam,
    This can be achieved by selecting the object types (eg Folders, Documents, Bookmarks, Notes etc) that you want to use in a collaboration.
    If you are a cFolders administrator, you can define which object types are to be used across the entire system on the General tab page under cFolders Administration.
    If you are not a cFolders administrator but have administration authorization for a collaboration, you can change this default setting for the relevant collaboration. To do this, proceed as follows:
    Go to the collaboration detail screen and choose Object Types. A list of all object types appears. By default, the objects that have been selected under cFolders Administration are already selected. You can select the objects that have not been selected under cFolders Administration as required.
    Change this selection if necessary. You can select exactly those object types that you want to be used in your collaboration. The system-wide default is not affected by this.
    Regards

  • Print screen/folder contents

    I would like to print a list of all the contents in a folder (not the documents themselves, just the list of contents). I do not have a print screen button on my keyboard. Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

    Resize the window and click triangles so that everything you want to print is visible on the screen, and then press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys simultaneously. Next, press the space bar, click in the window, open the newly created file on your desktop, which is a PNG by default in Tiger, and print it.

  • How can i print a list of a folder contents?

    On previous systems i used to be able to print a complete list of everything in a praticular folder. Very useful for comparing contents or logging contents before backing up and or re-installing.
    With Tiger i don't seem to be able to do this form the finder menu anymore...i have yet to find an easy way of doing this. When a folder is open the print command in the file menu is greyed out... is this right? If not how can i change it?
    Have tried using the Grab application but this only shows the window on the screen not a full window.
    Can anyone help?

    If you fancy popping open the Terminal application, you can navigate to the requried folder using the 'cd' change directory command:
    cd ~/Documents/desired_folder
    Then you can use the 'ls' list file command to print a directory contents to a text file.
    Simply type:
    ls > folderlist.txt
    Hope this helps!
    Bests Rich.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the print function of IE8 doesnot print the whole content of SharePoint list item.
    For troubleshooting your issue, please turn off Protection Mode for the IE8.
    You can refer to the thread:

  • Bookmark drag down list difficulty-folder contents overlay folder list

    Previous Firefox versions: Bookmark folders drag down in column list, contents of each folder appear in column to right of the folder list, similar to arrangement of an outline page with each subcategory tabbed over.
    New version: Contents of folders appear as I scroll down through the folder column, preventing me from seeing the next folder in column. E.G. As I scroll down past "Business" to get to my "Travel" folder, contents of business folder open on top of the main folder column preventing me from dragging down further to Travel.

    I do agree. Mine is not *perfectly* fixed neither. When the folder’s contents list is wide and contains subfolders, the cursor needs to go completely above or below those subfolder’s contents to be released from displaying it. I can readily imagine how yours is not practical.
    But mine is decent enough that I am going to live with it for now, hoping that the prior functionality (which is normal behavior IMO) is restored in an upcoming release.
    Trying to describe this gives me a newfound appreciation for those who practice the craft of technial writing.

  • List folder content

    I want to list the files that are inside a specific folder.
    Is there a way of listing a folder content?
    Thanks

    The File class has a list() method that returns an array of strings naming the files and directories in the directory.

  • Printing the entire contents of a folder

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook with Tiger, and I'm trying to print an entire folder of Word documents at the same time. I tried creating a desktop printer so I could drag and drop the files, but my computer just opens a Word window (to the very annoying Word default screen, asking me if I want to create a blank document) for each document I drag in. Is there any way to elegantly print the entire contents of a folder?

    Unfortunately, not in OS X.
    But take a look at this utility Printwindow. Corrected Now.

  • Content list of external drive

    Anyone know how to print a content list of an external drive. I could use Grab and capture the first level of items but I wanted to see all subfolders and files.
    Jeff

    Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and paste in:
    ls -R
    Type a space and drag the drive into the open Terminal window. Press Enter and copy the list from the Terminal. Use -AR instead of -R to include invisible items.

  • Print out the contents present in Modal Window on a paper

    Hi,
    Can anyone suggest me how to take print out the contents of a HTML Modal Window.
    Any Inputs on this can be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ram

    I tried this Finder drag method & discovered that it is very important to set the blank TextEdit document to plain text before the drag (from the format menu or with Cmd-shift-t). If you don't, TextEdit attempts to load the content of the files!
    Once I discovered this, I tried the method with Find (Cmd-F) results & it works for that, too. This means that by choosing the right combination of search location(s) & search criteria, you can extend the method to filter the list to just about any files you want, which could be very handy.
    For instance, set the "Kind" criteria to "QuickTime Movie" & location to "Computer" & you get a list of every QT movie. Or set the search location to the folder containing the movies of interest & you get all of them, including ones in subfolders. You could also use the 'date created' or other search criteria to filter the list to a specific subset of movies (or whatever).
    If you need to do this often, you could create one or more 'Smart Folders' with the criteria preloaded for each search.
    The only drawback I see for either Finder based method is the full path one. If you are getting results from just one or a few folders, Find & Replace can delete any of the path name fairly easily, but it becomes a chore if there are a lot of different ones. Some other text editor, like TexEdit Pro, that supports grep searches would be handy here, but since I'm not up to speed on grep, someone else will have to explain how to use it for this, if they want.

  • Folders contents listed

    Wishing I could have written a better question.
    MY PROBLEM:
    I have folders on my desktop with multiple files as contents.
    Is there an easy way to print up the names of files within any given folder without having to open the folder, note the names of the files on a text edit page, and print it off...  There must be some way to do this..by just clicking on the folder?? or is there some way to program the computer to do this.?
    I need to do this all the time!!
    I need you forum readers' experienced help.!!
    thank you!
    neo

    Thank you, Neil.. i had a feeling it was something like this.. which I have NEVER DONE BEFORE!!
    i did go to the Utilities folder and opened up the appleworks editor and copied and pasted everything you wrote above from the : colon onwards.. and got a message  expected ","
    ..it did not work.
    in other words, i copied and pasted
    do shell script "ls " & quoted form of POSIX path of ( NAMED FOLDER)   (114148)
    My questions.. will this work every time I copy and paste the above instructions ..for any folder , anytime.( If I can get it to work)
    And will it list the contents of the folder somewhere, where I can print out the list of folder contents?
    thanks

    You could enable directory browsing in the directory, but
    then you'll
    need to accept the rather ugly server default index page. If
    it were me,
    I'd write a short script that read the directory and
    displayed a more
    attractive listing. How you would go about that would depend
    on what
    server scripting language(s) you have available on the
    server.

  • Missing Print Templates Folder

    I have recently purchased some blog templates and I can not install them because I have no print templates folder.
    I go edit-preferences-show lightroom folder- lightroom- and there is no print templates folder to drop the templates into.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    I assume you mean, Edit / Preferences...  [presets tab] Location: [Show Lightroom Presets Folder]. If you haven't yet saved any print presets of your own, then LR has not yet had any need of a User folder to contain such. So one may not yet have been made.
    The easiest way to get LR to do that, (and to be sure that you are looking in the right place) : click the + icon next to Template Browser in Print module.
    IOW: save a dummy print preset, doesn't matter about its contents, but enter some very distinctive name and then click Create. By default this should go into "User Templates", which is made as necessary, though you can choose to make a differently named folder if you prefer.
    Full path on my Win8.1 is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates
    Then take a look in Explorer and see what has changed - if there's any problem, you can always disk search for whatever distinctive template name you have just entered. Copy your other bought templates alongside this new dummy print preset, restart LR and you should be able to start using any of those. Delete the dummy preset in due course.
    (Note that it is quite usual for built-in LR presets to be held somewhere quite different, than user created or user added items. The provided choices such as "(1) 4 x 6" and "custom 1 over 2" may not be findable anywhere on disk, for example.)
