About:
Nifty File Lists is a utility designed to scan directories and extract detailed file metadata into structured, exportable tables. It streamlines the process of cataloging file attributes such as size, creation dates, and types, making it ideal for asset management and data organization. The tool's main value is its ability to transform raw file system data into easily shareable formats like CSV or XML.
Key Features:
  • Exports file metadata to CSV, XML, and other formats
  • Recursive directory scanning
  • Customizable metadata columns
  • Fast performance on large file sets
Use Cases:
  • Generating asset inventories for project archives
  • Auditing file system changes and sizes
  • Creating catalog reports for digital media libraries
Alternatives:
  • ls – Standard Unix command provides basic listing, whereas Nifty File Lists offers structured export and GUI.
  • find – Powerful for locating files but lacks built-in export to tabular formats.
