About
Nifty File Lists allows you to save file lists in MS Excel, CSV (comma-separated values), TSV (tab-separated values), and even HTML formats—making them ideal for working with numerical data and web pages.
Key Features:
COMPREHENSIVE METADATA SUPPORT
A powerful, multi-threaded metadata extraction system covers everything from basic file information—such as filename, path, size, and creation and modification dates—to metadata available via Spotlight, including document attributes.(e.g., title, authors, contributors, comments, copyright, etc.), as well as photo, video, and image attributes (content creation date, camera, lens, exposure, GPS information).
FULLY INTERACTIVE PREVIEW
It covers everything from basic file information—such as filename, path, size, and creation/modification dates—to metadata accessible via Spotlight, including document attributes (e.g., title, authors, contributors, comments, copyright, etc.) and photo, video, and image attributes (content creation date, camera, lens, exposure, GPS information).
Smart Layout allows you to add or remove columns, inspect file attributes, and fine-tune the output within the tabular preview—even while the metadata extraction system is still busy processing long lists.
In addition to the table-based preview, Nifty File Lists also provides a full preview of the actual file output, allowing you to fine-tune the results before saving them to disk.
OUTPUT FORMATS
You can export file lists in common exchange formats such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) and TSV (Tab-Separated Values). These formats are widely used in many office productivity suites (MS Excel, Numbers, etc.) and professional applications (statistical packages, databases, etc.).Nifty File Lists generates output that is ready for immediate import into Excel and Numbers.
HTML5 output is also supported for website projects.In addition to outputting to a text file, Nifty File Lists can also export to the clipboard, allowing you to paste the list directly into an open application.
SORTING AND CUSTOMIZATION
Nifty File Lists supports a wide range of powerful sorting options, including "smart" numeric sorting, as well as sorting by creation date, modification date, content creation/modification date, file size, name, and full path.
Furthermore, you can customize the output to suit your specific needs.You can select which columns to include and how to format them.Columns can be rearranged, and the output format can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the result you require.
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
For digital photographers, the joy of digital photography is often accompanied by the burden of managing vast file collections—files that are frequently scattered across multiple storage media.
Nifty File Lists can help you keep track of your files by enabling you to easily generate file lists containing precise metadata—such as the time and location where a photo was taken, the equipment used (camera, lens), image format and resolution, color space, and exposure and aperture settings.
Whether you use these file lists for your own archival purposes or to provide lists to clients, Nifty File Lists makes the process fast, easy, and error-free.
DIGITAL MUSICWhether you compose your own music or are an avid collector, music libraries can quickly become unwieldy and difficult to organize.Uncompressed, high-quality audio files grow very large very fast, and they eventually end up being moved from one drive to another, burned to discs, or copied to the cloud.Regardless of your archiving strategy, Nifty File Lists helps you keep track of your music files.
A wide range of metadata for music, audio, and video is supported, allowing you to generate output suitable for importing into databases—or even into that dreaded yet still-popular "Excel database."
