List Tab?

Post by ehmtwo »

Hey there, i happened across this awesome utility, but I'm kinda confused at how to use the list tab. I am guessing it is for listing the contents of a folder, and exporting it to a tab deliniated text file in the format selected in the pattern... ? I'm confused as to how to use it...

There is nothing to it really.

1. You can drop in files, folder, torrents and sfv files to get the content file paths as text. Basically it's a GUI for ls > dir.txt

2. Pattern/Create is for creating linear lists, usually as rename template you'd directly drag over into Rename->New Names.

It's only reason "List" is still here is that I use it to quickly grab filenames and copy them into emails, or when I rename things other than episodes/movies and need linear lists, e.g. photos. Also works great for creating random number lists or GUIDs. There are more specialized tools for these things of course. ;)

I see, so you can't actually use it to pull into and add to a list like you would in the rename tab, like the codec, res, and stuff.

Mmhh. That's actually a good idea. Doesn't do any complicated stuff like that now though. GUI for something like that might be nice. But I'd probably use scripting instead anyway.
