FilelistCreator

Supported Formats

Of course, you can use the Filelist Creator to create lists of all types of files - regardless of the format of the files, you can, for example, generate lists with file names, file sizes, file dates, checksums or information about the file path, the data carrier or general file attributes.

In addition, the Filelist Creator also supports reading out of additional format-specific information from files of certain types. You can find them on this page, divided into the following categories:

• Audio Files
• Video Files
• Images
• Text Files
• Documents
• File Attributes
• Folder Information

In addition to the file formats that can be read out by the Filelist Creator for creating file lists, the program also supports several file formats for exporting your file list. The supported storage formats can be found in the section Export Formats.

Audio Files

The Filelist Creator can read and list audio tags and information such as artist, title, album, track, disc number, genre, year, length, comment, bit rate, sample rate and channels from the following audio file formats:

Video Files

For video files, the Filelist Creator can add the play length, width, height, aspect ratio, bitrate and frames per second (FPS) to your file list. The following video file formats are currently supported:

Images

With the Filelist Creator you can list the width, the height, the aspect ratio, the horizontal and vertical resolution, the number of images contained in the image (e.g. for icons, GIFs, TIFFs or multi-page JPM files) as well as the color space and color depth (bit depth) of the following image file types:

Text Files

Information about text files such as encoding, byte order mark (BOM), line break type and the number of lines, characters and words can be read out by the Filelist Creator, regardless of the extension of the text file. We therefore limit ourselves at this point to a selection of file extensions for typical text files without claiming to be exhaustive:

Documents

Information on the author, title and number of pages of the following file formats can be output in your file list.

File Attributes

General file attributes, such as information about whether a file is hidden, write-protected or has a hidden file extension (macOS only), can be added for all files to the file list regardless of their format or extension. In addition, the Filelist Creator supports the following format-specific attributes:

Folder Information

In addition to listing files, the Filelist Creator also supports listing folders. The Filelist Creator can output information on folders such as the folder size, the number of files and/or folders contained (with or without the files and folders from subfolders), as well as the depth and the folder level.

Note

Of course, the information mentioned only applies to the extent that the relevant file format and / or the operating system also supports the corresponding information. For example, the file attribute "Hidden Extension" can only be used in the macOS version of the Filelist Creator, as Windows does not recognize such a file attribute. Further examples are audio files that do not allow metadata or image files that do not allow information on resolution or color depth due to the format.

Export Formats

You can save your file list in the following file formats:

In the settings you will furthermore find format-specific options for adapting the export to your needs. For example, it is possible to link your files in HTML format, you can adapt the encoding of text files, select the field delimiters of the CSV files, set the font, colors and borders for printing or saving as an image, and much more.
