Reports can be rather difficult to create, especially if they’re related to an abundance of files on your computer. However, specialized applications help in this regard, and one suitable example here is Filelist Generator. It’s able to scan a given directory, and generate thorough reports based on various details.

Perks of portability and visual design

One thing you notice first is that you’re not taken through a setup process to enable functionality, so you can store the application on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers besides your own. What’s more, registry entries remain intact during the whole operation, so the health status of the target PC is not put at risk.As far as the visual design is concerned, the application wants to make it easy for both experienced individuals and beginners to quickly get the hang of things. Several sections are clearly delimited so as to make it easy to know how to select the folder of interest, apply filters if necessary, and determine the level of detail to grab.

Easily choose details to include in the report

Setting up the details for a report doesn’t require much effort. A directory needs to be selected from the built-in menu, with a drop-down menu letting you switch drives. The same section lets you choose where the new report is saved, and whether or not to include only specific file formats, which is pretty handy for building reports for pictures, songs, and such.In terms of options, the application can also scan subdirectories with configurable depth level. Moreover, the report can include file size, date and time, and whether or not to generate a separate report which enlists all directories and subdirectories. Scan doesn’t take a lot of time, and files are found as TXT formats in the specified location.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Filelist Generator is a practical application you can use to see just how abundant a specific directory is. It requires no installation to function, while the level of details is pretty easy to set up.
