Tips & Annotations

•FileList does not follow mountpoints and symbolic links. This ensure that files are listed only once. Many other command line utilities do follow symbolic links and will therefore show different results.

•FileList uses the list separator that is set in the Control Panel of Windows by default.

•FileList supports Unicode. In order to see Unicode characters in the command line window, you need to start the command line processor in Unicode mode (CMD.EXE /U) and use a font that supports Unicode (the default font does not). The Unicode format that is used is UTF8.

•Using the extension .CSV for the output file enables you to open the file in Excel with a double click in the Explorer.

•In case an error occurs that prevents FileList from doing its job, the Windows error code will be set as exit code for the process.

•The Windows "at" command can be used to schedule the creation of lists with FileList. The following command creates a list of all mp3 files including their owners every Monday night: at 00:01 /EVERY:m "C:\path\to\filelist.exe" /OWNER /FILTER *.mp3 c:\ ^>output.txt

•To output folders with FileList you can use the /ATTRIBUTEFILTER-parameter of FileList. See Usage to learn more about Parameters.
