Title: Equivalent of Karen's Directory Printer (Windows) on Mac OS 9
Post by: darknight818 on January 09, 2020, 05:32:05 AM
Hi collective MacOS9Lives wisdom!

I'm fiddling with an iMac G3 / 333 running OS 9.0 and I'm trying to get directory listings printed out for some floppy disks I'm trying to preserve. Currently, I'm resorting to creating the directory structure on an excel sheet -- HELP!

If you're not familiar with Karen's Directory Printer -- it is a simple (Windows) application that allows the user to select which directories and subdirectories to "print" out to a text file or similar. I'm not sure what the rules are on posting links, so I won't for fear of getting this taken down, but it's freeware, and I'm hoping the solution y'all are able to suggest falls in the same category.

Just found this forum, so expect future questions, but for now, any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!!

The program that did this was Loodle.

It could make/save a catalogue of any disc: Floppy, Hard Drive, etc.

It could also create and print a label for floppies.

List Files FAT is a shareware utility that does something similar.
Drop a folder on it, and it creates a text list of the files within.
It's on MacFormat 30 CDROM.

for one level only you can do that in finder:

 - open folder
 - select all items
 - copy
 - paste in a textdocument

for the whole directory listing i would index the volume using "KDX" (or "toast archiver" or "CD catalog")
