The PATools File Lister is an add-in for Microsoft® Excel® software which creates a new workbook containing a list of all files and/or folders in a location you specify, including subfolders. You can sort this list, filter it, save it, export it, print it, or use any other Microsoft Excel feature to analyse it. 

The list includes the file name, type, size, date last modified, a hyperlink to the file, it's full path and more. It also includes a UniqueFileID which can be used to show apparent duplicate files - these are marked so as to help find identical copies of files stored in multiple locations, perhaps to help you clean up disk space.

Once you have your data in Microsoft Excel you can even run multiple listings and copy and paste them into one worksheet to find more duplicates etc (we recommend the PATools Data Toolkit to help work with duplicates).

And why not use the PATools File Manager to help you copy/move/delete/rename your listed files and folders?

In Microsoft Excel 2000 and above there is also summary pivot table created plus two graphs to help show a breakdown of disk space by file type, location, number of files, etc. These can be edited and adjusted to show whatever you wish from the original data, or you can add your own pivot tables and graphs.

The latest release now includes data on digital jpeg/jpg files such as date picture taken, dimensions and camera model.

For new users, the software will run on an evaluation basis, which means that you can use it for as long as you wish but it will list only approximately 100 files / folders.
