Export?

Post by rino »

Quote: "Export folder listings :
Whatever you see in xplorer² can be exported as text for printing... "

I can't find any export button or item in the menus. How can I use this feature? (Is it sort of print directory listing?)

Thanx for your support

The export is not a single-jump export (like the "send to-" context menu option you see in the folder pane).

The command CTRL+P puts the list on cliboard (exactly as you see it). Open any application and paste it there.

Typical uses are-
* textpad (print, save, send to someone, etc)
* Excel (parse into columns and analyse)
* PIM (add other info)

The first use is equivalent to print directory. As you can see, this command has multiple (and more powerful) uses.

Before using CTRL+P, set different views and also different columns (ALT+K) and see what happens to the output.

Yet another powerful aspect of this command is that you can precisely select what to export: the CTRL+P will act only on selected items, and ignore all other items. You can explot this by using CTRL/SHFT+clicking on the desired items before pressing CTRL+P.

This way, x2 gives you a much more powerful command compared to even dedicated Directory Printing utilities.
