Printing the File List

[henkjans]

Working on a project in Flare 6, I reached a point (multiple projects, identical topics but different language and describing several systems).
Result; lots of topics, use of conditional text, variables, etc.
To keep track I see Analyzer’s value.
There is however one missing thing: a simple printout of the File List (or at least I couldn’t find it).
Even the reports pane does not give me the possibility to define a simple and compact File List.
Is there anybody who knows how to print this kind of info?

the only way to do this right now is to take a screenshot of the file list. i use the scrolling page option in snag it to get everything at the same time.
feel free to submit a feature request for print options - https://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx

Another trick I use quite often (not only for Flare projects) is to create a simple batch file:

Code: Select all

dir >> list.txt

Place the batch file in each directory (you can move the same one from directory to directory as needed), double click the batch file and open the resulting text file. You can print the file list in the ntext file using the text editor if necessary.

Thanx you guys!

SteveS; I'm old school so I tried it already at the DOS prompt. The list I get is simple enough but too much work to transform it into somthing to work with.

Lacastle; screenshot okay, but what do you mean with "scrolling page option". Please explain .......

this is a feature in SnagIt - http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ - that will automatically scroll a window to capture everything, not just what is visible in a normal screenshot. i'm not sure if it is also a feature in madcap capture - http://www.madcapsoftware.com/products/ ... troduction

Because I wanted a list which I could edit I made a batch file to run in the Content folder.
Result a .txt file containing all .htm files.
Besides that I made a Excel script to read the txt file into Excel and filter the read files.

Closer to my needs then with the "on board" tools.
